FileSetTime returning 0

[JeffAllenNJ]

After a disk recovery, I have LOTS of files where the modification time is earlier than the create time.  So, I wrote a little script to detect and correct.  Unfortunately, FileSetTime is returning 0.

$Mod = FileGetTime($File,0,1)
$Cre = FileGetTime($File,1,1)
If Int($Cre) > Int($Mod) Then
    FileSetTime($File, $Mod, 0)
    ws(@error,@extended)
EndIf

 

[argumentum]

Return Value
Success:    1.
Failure:    0 if error changing timestamp(s).

...
    $iRet = FileSetTime($File, $Mod, 0)
    ConsoleWrite($iRet & ' - ' & @error & ' - ' & @extended)
...

You're right, it's not failing.  My mistake all along.  I misread the documentation thinking that CreateDate was 0 and ModDate was 1 but it's the other way around.  I'm using the constants (ex; $FT_MODIFIED) now.

"where the modification time is earlier than the create time"

That's typical for several restores, when the backup doesn't preserve the CreationTime, then this time stamp is typically the "point-of-time-of-the-restore-process". Is this your result after the restore?
