Also there's the concept that with copy commands the file already existed on
the source (and target) environment; with FTP, by nature it's a 'foreign'
file which didn't previously exist on teh target system. It's therefore a
new creation at the time it was sent.

To me it looks like there are two different approaches used when copying
files in MVS:

- dataset level:
   old copy creation date&time < new copy creation date&time

- PDS(E) member level:
   old copy creation date&time = new copy creation date&time

In the second case it looks like someone found it to be important to
propagate the original creation and change date & time (XMIT does it between
systems).
