DSPOBJD Lib/Object *objtype

The DSPOBJD command will report the Last Change Date of the object but not necessarily the content of the object.

For example, a database file will contain a member. DSPOBJD would report a change to the SIZE() attribute of the file, but it would not reflect changes to records in the member if you simply run UPDDTA against it.

It’s necessary to distinguish between the object description that DSPOBJD is concerned with and data that may be within an object.
