Hi Arnd,

I would suggest that you manually enter a fixed-format text that you can parse out of the text, such as "Job Created on yyyy-mm-dd" to store that information.

Do u mean that we should maintain the text files manually?
thanks in advance.

Yes, since in your situation there is no automatic means to do this you need to do it manually.

Thanks Arndw

wahil,

good guess, and it might work most of the but it isn't correct. The DATA.30 and OVER.30 are components of a type 30 hashed file, and if entries are made to the table that cause an overflow the OVER.30 file will be modified as well so your method doesn't guarantee a good answer.

Also, the problem is that the original poster wanted to promote a job from one environment to another and in that case your method would also show the date/time of the job being created in the new project.
