The problem with user defined fields is multifold. One, many of the
tables I am considering do not use them. Two, many of the columns I want
to add have timestamps and whatnot and I want the system to maintain them
and I do not want to rely upon RPG tricks to overlay a timestamp into some
character column, nor do I wish to always have to translate said
conversion every time I want to query by that column. Triggers and User
Defined Functions (and maybe even a view utilizing some of those UDF's)
would take out a lot of that pain.
But what it really boils down to is that I want to add some very specific
columns without disrupting the business by having Infor programs blow up.
