We do the same thing. I use Extractor/400 to bring the files over from
production into a temporary library, but before I copy them back to the
development library from the temporary library, I disable the trigger.
After the copy completes, the trigger is re-enabled:

*Actually Simon's suggestion is the way I'll have to go, because I don't

Ops.
does their weekly refresh of the file from Production to Development.
(Actually, now I'm wondering why I need the Triggers on Development at
all?) Still thinking!*

Hi Jerry

Alternatively if you want the *DELETE trigger to run for each record
you
could use SQL to delete every record in the file:

DELETE FROM library/file

Hope it helps

Jonathan

I have a Trigger on a file which fires on a Delete Record. All's

It's not the TRIGGER that doesn't like it--it's the SYSTEM. The
presumption is that IF you added a *DELETE trigger then you probably
want it to fire for every record deletion. Because CLRPFM does not
DELETE records but rather truncates the data space there is no
physical
delete operation thus the trigger won't fire. If the trigger isn't
fired how can the trigger program perform whatever action you desire
when a delete occurs. Nett result is that some operations are not
allowed on a file that has a trigger.


#3 is my problem. How can I get around this? There must be a
trick,
but I
can't find one.

You can't CLEAR a file with a *DELETE trigger so do what the message
help text tells you and remove the trigger, clear the file, and add
the
trigger back again. NOTE: I am not recommending this
practice--simply
telling you how you can accomplish it.

Simon Coulter.
