UniData has the _PH_ file which is a DIR type file. There is the DIR() function that will return a lot of information for you without the expense of opening the file. Perhaps UniVerse has something similar.
See <http://www.pickwiki.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?GetOsInfo> for examples and code on how to use it to get the OS date/time/size quickly and easily. hth Colin Calgary, Canada -----Original Message----- From: Perry Taylor If you don't want to mess with the "nuances" of the &PH& ID you can call a subroutine which does an OPENSEQ then uses STATUS to get the modification date right from the file system. Perry ----- Original Message ----- From: Charles Stevenson You can also get elapsed time by subtracting that ID date-time stamp from the os's date-time-modified stamp, which is when the job ended. (if the job writes to the &PH& log as it ends.) On 11/29/2011 4:01 PM, John Thompson wrote: > Yep... need more sleep.
