Exception handling is one of the most expensive things you can do on an iSeries -- but it should work. However, I'd go the route you mention at the end. Add an ALCOBJ at the start w/a wait time of 3600 seconds if you get it, add trigger and release it. If not, loop. -Walden ------------ Walden H Leverich III President & CEO Tech Software (516) 627-3800 x11 WaldenL@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.TechSoftInc.com Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur.

Hi All, I want to add a database trigger to a file. Unfortunately, it is a very popular file, used in many different processes. Adding a trigger requires an *EXCL lock. I'd like to retry adding the trigger until I do it. Here's my CLLE code: PGM tryagain1: addpftrg file(oecssl) trgtime(*after ) trgevent(*insert) + pgm(cemk036r0) rpltrg(*yes) monmsg CPF32C6 exec(goto tryagain1) ENDPGM Would this code cause other processes to time out due to an object lock on the OECSSL file? I say no, because if the file is not locked by another process, this code will add the trigger, then exit the program. If the file is locked by another process, it will loop and attempt to add the trigger again. Am I correct in my thinking? Are there better ways to handle this? What are your ideas on using the ALCOBJ OBJ((oecssl *FILE *EXCL)) command?
