Use Ignore Stamp (-is) to stop a Progress client from comparing time stamps when attempting to connect an AS/400 database. When connecting to the schema holder database and the AS/400 database, Progress compares the time stamps on the files in the schema holder and the AS/400 physical and logical files. If the time stamps do not match, the login attempt is rejected.

NOTE: Whenever any change to the AS/400 database structure is made (whether or not the change is saved), the AS/400 data dictionary time stamp changes.

Progress checks the time stamp at the initial connection. If an AS/400 user modifies the file definitions after a successful Progress connect, the Progress user might get unpredictable results.
