What an amazingly simple question!  I don't have time to follow this thru
to completion right now but the following command worked on my machine:
ADDPFTRG FILE(ROB/QPGMSRC)
         TRGTIME(*AFTER)
         TRGEVENT(*INSERT)
         PGM(ROB/TEST)
And the standard trigger data structure contains the member name and
everything.  I guess I don't see why this wouldn't work.
And I've written triggers to record data to a log file before.

You will want to verify that any changes with tools like:  CODE/400,
Turnover change management, etc will record the correct user profile, if
that is one of your design fields that you want to store in the log file.
Sometimes server programs run under another user profile than what is
being processed.

One other concern.  Do editors replace a record, or the whole file?  If
they replace the whole file then your drop of water will be lost in the
ocean - all records might be recorded as a change.  Gee, if I exit editing
and say renumber yes...

Good thinking.

Hi,

     Is there anyway, one can record changes to an RPG Program Source and
maintain audit trail programmatically. Assuming an User changes the Source
Code of a Program, is it possible that a trigger program is auto invoked
to
record the changes to a user specified database file. Please help..
