Is there a way to change the timestamp (date and time) of a file?

Use the FILEDATE function.

3. After a search, I found the above refernece to FILEDATE

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.

5. Obviously don't have the latest online help, 'cos I DON'T see any info for FILEDATE

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 (?)

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.

8. Thanks for the suggestion Doug.

That did the trick (Reginald must have been updated without my noticing)

9. Okay - I installed updated Reginald, but it still failed

Here's my test example


filename = "K4605020.cbl"
y = filedate(filename)
SAY y
/* Updating via filedate requires a format of yyyyMMdd hr:mn:sc */
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

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
