UniVerse 9.6.1.6 on HP/UX We are analyzing our "mature and extensive" application to find obsolete files. I was hoping to use the array loaded by STATUS() after a file OPEN to return the date/time stamps.
>From the manual for STATUS() after OPEN ... Last Access date = <14> - date of last access Last Date Written = <16> - date of last mod It appears that opening the file immediately changes the last access date/time <14> and <15>. That seems to defeat the purpose because the answer is always today / now. Is there a way around this? Is there another way of getting at that info without having to parse the results of a unix shell command? One hassle with that is the external date returned which is "sometimes" month day & time or maybe month day & year - for older records. I can do that but it just seems simpler to stay within UniVerse to query UniVerse entities. We get spoiled by the U2 way of managing dates/times. I have searched the IBM knowledge base but got no relevant hits. That surprises me. I am either misunderstanding something or I am totally on the wrong path.
