| Use the FILEDATE function. |
3. After a search, I found the above refernece to FILEDATE #13229 |
| but couldn't find any help on using it. I assume it's what I want - I want to copy a file fro A to B and ensure that the date/time for B is shown as "right now" (rather than A's date/time which seems to be happening for me) |

Michael, when I highlight "filedate" in RPC, and hit F1, the help page comes up.
In short the structure is: FILEDATE(filename, option, datetime)
where option is: 'A' - Last accessed, 'C' - Creation, 'M' - Last modified
and time is "yyyymmdd hh:mm:ss"
If time is omitted, the the function is a query and returns the specified value.Doug |
5. Obviously don't have the latest online help, 'cos I DON'T see any info for FILEDATE #13231 |
At the same time, I tried going to
http://home.roadrunner.com/~jgglatt/rexx/rexxuser.htm
(from the sticky updates topic) to get the latest help, but that is either in trouble or temporarily down. |
6. Tried the example you specified (?) #13232 Posted by: Michael S 2010-03-04 16:00:42 Last edited by: Michael S 2010-03-04 16:01:01 (Total edited 1 time) |
filename = "K4605020.cbl"
y = filedate(filename)
SAY y
and received err 43.1 "Could not find routine ......../filedate.rex"
Am I missing something ? |

The link must have been down, as it's working for me.
I'd suggest reloading the software as well as the doc.Doug |
8. Thanks for the suggestion Doug. #13234 |
| That did the trick (Reginald must have been updated without my noticing) |
9. Okay - I installed updated Reginald, but it still failed #13235 |
Here's my test example
filename = "K4605020.cbl"
y = filedate(filename)
SAY y
temp = DATE("S")" "TIME("N")
SAY "temp = "temp
y = filedate(filename, "M", temp)
SAY y
Temp contains "20100308 09:51:40", but the results are shown in the attachment |
10. Tried the sample, it worked for me #13244 Posted by: DougA 2010-03-12 01:20:58 |
Michael, ran your test example and it worked fine, maybe Jeff can help.
Or try another reload of the software, something seems confused.
Anyway, your code is good, should work.Doug |
