ModDate Method (FTP)

10.2, PLBCMP GUI Only

The ModDate method retrieves the last-modified time of a file on the FTP server. This method uses the following format:

[label]

{object}.ModDate

[GIVING {return}] USING [*RemoteFile=]{remotefile}

Where:

label

object

Required. A FTP that has been declared.

return

Optional. A Character String Variable that returns the last-modified time of a specified file.

remotefile

Required. A Character String Variable or string literal that specifies the file name that exists on the FTP server.

Flags Affected: EOS, OVER, ZERO

Note the following:

The EOS flag is set to be TRUE if the {return} variable is too small and the data must be truncated.
The OVER and ZERO flags are always set to the FALSE state.
The {return} variable is set to a NULL variable if there was an error detected.
Debug log entries are generated if the debug logging is enabled. See the FTP Debug Method description to enable debug logging.
