Re: Triggers (was: EPDM security) -- MAPICS-L

I used triggers over many Mapics files... We also are using the TRGMST file
to store them.. We have not had any problems with the Backup or anything
else.. And the programs are stored in a prg library, not the mapics
libraries.. Any other questions let me know.
