DBObjectHandle :: UpdateTimestamp - Enable/Disable timestamp updating

When objects are derived from __OBJECT, the time stamp in the __OBJECT base structure is updated automatically, whenever an object is modified. The application may suppress time stamp updating by calling this function passing NO for time_stamp_enabled. After disabling automatic time stamping, the application must enable this feature explicitly, when time stamping is requested again.

The function returns the old value for automatic time stamp update.

Return value:  Old access mode (   )

Access mode that was valid for the property handle.
