I have been reading the messages on this subject Two groups of people stand out
- One group cannot see why anyone would want to keep the date - the other group cannot understand why you do not want to keep the date Accept it that people have different requirements. Rather then ask for an option to select one or the other. VM has had it since as long as I remember VSE implemented it in the last release It is time zOS also keeps up with user requirements - not cling to history Add an option to do Then both camps can be happy Jan de Wet Data Centre Services (Business Connexion), Sandton, South Africa Cell: +27 (0)82 902 1996 Office: +27 (0)11-322-5720 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jesus Christ is my Lord Business Connexion (Pty) Ltd - Company Registration Number 1993/003683/07 NOTICE: Any unauthorised use, alteration or dissemination is prohibited.

This date-setting behavior is pretty standard across many systems. For example, if you copy a file in DOS (or UNIX, IIRC) the creation date of the new file is set to the creation date of the old file, not the date that you did the copy.
