Re: Trigger Program Prb

By any chance have you set the trigger to fire *AFTER instead of *BEFORE? 
You need to change the buffer *BEFORE you *INSERT/*UPDATE the record.

Hi All,

I have a small trigger program which is set to intercept any *INSERT 's on
a particular pf. Now the pgm has no problems receiving the data through 
the
buffer which is passed to it. The problem here is that when I run the
trigger pgm in debug, I watch the buffer values change (which is what I
want the pgm to do) then after the pgm has finished running and I check 
the
file, the previous (undesired) values are in it.

Is this buffer merely a copy of the original record to be inserted ?
Perhaps from my explanation you can tell I'm new to triggers and the 3
examples in the Library Reader update/write to other files and NOT to the
record itself. I really am pressed for time now so any help forthcoming
would be appreciated.

Regards
John.
