Re: RPGLE *MODULE, what will cause the "last used date" and "days

yes, I am looking at the actual module itself...
in the case of one module that is showing a days used count of nearly every
day of it's existence,
I see that we have one program that executes via a "callp" versus what I
presume a bound call...

If you're talking about an actual *MODULE object, I believe the only thing

don't' see where you could find a 'Last used date", etc. on the module
within a program or service program.

In our shop, we keep the *MODULE objects around should a program or service
program need to be regenerated. Then the old *MODULE object is used again.
I
think our cross-reference software is aided by having the *MODULE objects
still around. You can actually delete them after binding them.
