RE: Listening to changes in a file

You can write a trigger program that is called when a table record is
updated (or added or deleted).  See some of the IBM database documentation
to find out about that.  The trigger program has to be a *PGM object, as far
as I know.  But this program can do anything you like, including calling a
Java class.

Hi all, 

We have an RPG program that write data to a file/table. 
When an instance of a table is updated we would like to generate an event. 
This event would be coded in Java. 

Has anybody done that?
