Hi,

I have requirement to retrieve creation date of file stored on server.

Is there any function module to retrieve that one?

Is there any UNIX command to retrieve creation date of file??

Plz do needful.

Hi,

Have you tried using function module SUBST_GET_FILE_LIST.

This returns a structured list of files in a unix directory in the RSFILLST structure format.

I'm not 100% but this should return a date/time. Not sure if it's the creation date or last changed date.

Hi,

U can use FM EPS_GET_FILE_ATTRIBUTES.

You will get the Last Modification Time of the file in FILE_MTIME .

Then use The perfrom p6_to_date_time_tz (In standard program rstr0400) and pass mtime there and you will get the creation date.
