I've used file "job stamps" a lot and normally find them very useful. Just
one caveat: make sure that there is control over usage and updates. For
example, I've seen too many "edit record" programs that update the "job
stamp" change details regardless of whether anything has actually been
changed (confirm = No)!

This is also why I've been in the habit of setting up a "job
stamp" for records in new files. Job name, job number, user
profile, time written. Both at create and change steps.

One cannot journal the whole universe, anyway. Zap the
journal, you still have "who did it". Actually this was
**very** useful in one security instance.

| Alex,
| Unless you have a time or timestamp field in your file,
there is little way
| to find that out.
| However, you can find when the file object was changed.
|
| If you do journalling the physical file, you can get it
|from the Journal
| entries. Hope that will suffice.
|
| Thanks
