I'm novice to ClearCase, and recently I merged list of files from branch A to branch B.
At that time I checked preserved the time stamp option for every files that I merged.

Now, Client needs to review that one it seems, so they are asking for snapshot for every file with its "created time stamp" and its "modified time stamp" as a list.

I tried using History option, but I did not get the Created date time stamp.
How can I get that timestamp information?

One way to review those files is to select them into a view:
You can try a view with a time-based selection rule in its config spec.
I would recommend a dynamic view (that way, you can quickly modify the config spec and do multiple tries in order to select the right versions)

See "how to find out all the activities happened in a branch in the last month?" for an example or such a config spec.

But if you are after a list of files, as selected by a view, but with the "modified date" as well as the "creation date", then a simple cleartool find, using fmt_ccase syntax, is enough:

This will give you all the creation dates:

ct find . -type f -exec "cleartool descr -fmt \"%n %e:%d\n\" \"%CLEARCASE_PN%@@\""

This will give you all the last modification dates:

ct find . -type f -exec "cleartool descr -fmt \"%n %e:%d\n\" \"%CLEARCASE_PN%\""

The only difference is in the '@@', which in one case is for referencing the element itself (which has a creation date), and in the other (no '@@'), is for referencing the version (which represent the last modification date).
