RE: format of *DATE (was Source code retrieval from opbject of display file)

Joe,

Before you try this you have to investigate how this works.  If I remember
correctly, if it finds the data area it ignores any H specs that are in the
program.  A better option is to have the default H specs you want in a /copy
(which can be located through library list), this way allows you to add
other H specs in the program on an individual basis as needed.
