You don't mention the file type, but I am assuming it is a dynamic file.

If it is, this is "normal". I recall the first release of reliable dynamic
files had the feature of disallowing access to users without 'read and
write' permission...which wasn't  actually documented anywhere...ouch!

I think you will find 'LIST' and other 'read-only' commands has the same
effect.

Subject: COUNT modifying unix timestamp


We have a client running UV 10.0.16 on HPUX 11i who has noted that a
Universe COUNT will modify the unix timestamp of a file.  

Has this always been the case?  

Why does a supposedly read-only operation like COUNT modify the
timestamp but others such as LIST, SORT, etc. don't?

Cheers,
David Eves
