Hi to all.

I've searched on Google for some easy solution to this, but it seems there's nothing about.

We're starting to use Null-capabel field in or DB mainly for RI-related needs. Everuthing's goes ok, except for a trouble.

We use a lot trigger program to perform sone calculation based on changed to data. Usually, we defined the trigger in a way that allows change to PF to be transparet to the trigger: just recompile the trigger (we've wrote an in.house proc that update the PF, recompile dependecies and trigger without need to remember to do it) but, using null map indicator, i didn't have any way to match the null-indicator to the file-based DS. i just need to *count* the fileds and then say "if NullInd(x) then".

This is oblviously prone to error if a field will be added *before* the null-capable fields (and, of course, causes the code to be less clear).

Is there any way to map the null-field map to the DS ??? since the DS iself is declared basing on the file, it has the field null-capable, so i suppose it has it's' own null-field map, and ti would be nice to be able to copy or override this with the one coming from the Trigger's parameter.

Any hint will be appreciated. Thanks.
