Check if DCR is "New" or "Edited" in Workflow

Hi,

I may be being really dumb but am still a novice so....

I'm writing a workflow for which I need to establish if a DCR is new or has been edited. Is there a CLT that will help me or do I have to manually loop through all generated content to find the PrimaryDCR EA for the DCR in question?

AAHGA.

You could do something like:

iwattrib vpath-to-file revisionnumber

If the value returned is '0' (zero) the file could be considered "new" - not yet submitted.
If the value returned is anything greater than 0 the file could be considered "edited"

If you use the command:

iwfilestate vpath-to-file

you can verify whether the file is modified or not.

Hope that helps

Many thanks Ghoti, exactly what I was looking for. Perhaps I should think a liitle harder and I might come up with the solutions myself!
