Currently, saving a source member will set every record's SRCDAT value to 0 #101

While this is not a show stopper for my newest client because all of the code will be new and this actually saves me the step at the end of setting them all to 0, this will be a show stopper for me for my other clients with existing source that don't have good change management / archiving tools. Many of my other clients rely heavily on the mod date because not everyone remembers to tag the changes on the lines they changed and it helps us figure out when something changed (broke). I know we should be using source diffs for this but being a consultant, I can't seem to convince (force) the client's employees to do that.

It would also be helpful to see the mod dates in the editor. Let me know if you would like a separate issue opened for this request. I included it here because I think the two are very tied together.

All of that said, I have tried to figure out how to do this myself and I have no idea. Every attempt I make at pulling a source member the sequence number and mod dates.

I just found the other SRCDAT issue so I'm closing this one and adding my comment to the other one.
