RE: [sqr-users] check datetime stamp on file

["Alexander, Steve" <Steven.Alexander@sanjoseca.gov>]

There is no SQR function to get the datetime of a file.  You have to use
"call system" to pipe an "ls -l" command into a file, then read and parse
the directory listing.  Unix will show the date in different formats
depending on how recent the datetime is.

RESEND:
Anyone know how to determine datetime of a file programmatically?

I'd like to add a procedure in my SQR to call the operating system and check
if a file exists or not (SQR reads a file and loads a table). If it does
exist, I'd like to check the datetime stamp for the file and only process if
it matches "today's date." 

Are there operating system (or better yet, SQR) functions/features that
allow this? We're on Unix AIX and NT.

Much thanks!
