When I run this command DSPF '/path.lib/to.file/src.mbr' instead of COPY I do not see the viewer showing me source dates and sequence numbers, so I would guess that there is nothing to be done using COPY. You might have the developer use SAVRSTOBJ to save across systems.
If you were using a change management product with deployment then you would not really care about change dates as much but the number of archived versions. Then you would ship over objects from your develop system production libraries.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] RDI-Date last Changed
I've searched both RPG and Midrange forums with no success. One of our programmers using RDI has started saving his developed/changed source programs using COPY from development to production and is losing all the previous record change dates in the source. (SRCDAT).
Is there any known solution to this? I'd hate to have him go back to using FTP but...
To clarify, the target copy seems to change the SRCDAT to today's date when the copy happens because the original source is not changed.
