I like to set these fields via a trigger with ALWREPCHG(*YES) and
TRGUPDCND(*CHANGE).  In this case the trigger only fires when the buffer has
actually changed, so even if the edit program performs an UPDATE operation the
old data is not affected.

And triggers set the contents regardless of the method used to update the
file...
