I want our file server to be able to tell the clients when a data set last
changed. For non-VSAM it's easy (if a bit vague), there's the last reference
date in the F1 DSCB. For VSAM you can see a SYSTEM-TIMESTAMP in the LISTCAT
output but how do you get that from a program? We currently use IGGCSI00 for
VSAM info but there is no field name for the timestamp. The SHOWCAT macro
does not seem to show all that much at all. Any ideas out there? I am hoping
I have missed something.

TIA
Robin
