Greeting all!
New to Universe so my apologies for the rookie question. Is there any to determine when the last date/time a program was compiled and by whom?

Hi
Simple
Check at the os level into the PROG.O directory, each file is a code object, theos date/time/owner his the one who run BASIC statement.
I hope this help.

Hi Doc,
I'm uncertain about the ability to determine who did the last
compilation but the date and time can be determined by exiting to the
OS, going to the BP.O, (or whatever the program file name is), and doing
a "dir" on widows or an "ls -lia" on linux or Unix. Maybe somebody else
has knowledge about the user.
Sorry just a half answer.

A more objective way of determining the date/time it was compiled (pun intended) is to use VLIST:
>VLIST BUILD FOO
Subroutine "BUILD.O/FOO"
Compiler Version: 14.1.0.0
Object Level : 5
Machine Type : 1
Local Variables : 5
Subroutine args : 0
Unnamed Common : 0
Named Common Seg: 0
Object Size : 84
Source lines : 418
Object Date Time: 18 APR 2025 16:39:48
Including the user in the object code header sounds like a great enhancement.
