Hi Everyone,
I'm wondering if there is a built-in way to determine when a BASIC program was last executed on a UniVerse system.  (I'm running v11.1.9 on Linux)  I worked on a different platform years ago that had a DICT item in the BP file that would return that info, but I haven't found anything like it on UniVerse.
Thx

You could write a dictionary which uses the ls command to look at the last access time of the pcode in the '.O' file. For example 'ls -l --time=atime'  (on Linux) will show you the last access 'atime' of each file in the directory.

This cannot be guaranteed to work though as the updating of the 'atime' ​ value can be turned off when the file system is mounted and in general it is something that at rocket we suggest that customers turn off as in general the updating of 'atime' is an unwanted performance overhead.

hi,

If you global catalog, you can use MAKE.MAP.FILE and MAP command to read info about the program 

I hope this help

The MAP command will only tell you the last date it was accessed. Although it does provide other details as well. Also as stated programs have to globally cataloged to take advantage of the MAP command.
