Is it possible to use dsjob to get a list of new or changed jobs - say with today's date ?
We're trying to automate our project backups using istool, but only want to export it when a change to a job in the project has happened.
I know there's a 'modified_date' entry when you export in DSX, but I don't want to have to export a whole project just to get that field. dsjob seems to be able to extract a lot of good data, but I haven't seen where last_modification_date may be .
I'm also loosely familiar with the internal database, but don't have the knowledge to extract from that.

If you read the Programmer's Guide manual* you will see the source code for dsjob (which was originally developed to illustrate the DataStage API) and will be able to determine whether that piece of information is retrievable from the command as it exists. If not, you can adapt the code.
* If it's not there, try the Advanced Developer's Guide - I can't recall the version 8 manual set from memory.
