Unfortunately this is the wrong thing to do when their are multiple 
users accessing the file.  If one of them modifies the file on purpose, 
that modification date gets lost.

Either pure RMS or ACP calls need to be used, or an extension is needed 
for the C RTL.  The extension would be to allow XABs to be added on to a 
file open request.
