RE: Trigger pgm - SQL errors -- MAPICS-L

Konrad, Thanks. I was beginning to think I was losing it. At least I have 
someone to agree that it is a problem.... I like your journal idea. Is there 
anything special I should know about this. I should journal to MPXJRN in 
AMFLIBx? 
Dspjrn to a file, then qry file? Or is there a better way or something else.
 
Thanks Again
Pete

Pete,

I tried a variety of scenarios with various triggers here and replicated
your results. Any direct access via ODBC throws the same message on a
read trigger. Might not be worth the effort to debug since read triggers
are expensive anyway for a high activity file like GELMAS.

Have you considered just turning on journaling for GELMAS and monitoring
the opens and closes? You could easily find who opened or closed file
that way and it is not much of a performance impact. Just periodically
copy the journal entries to a table, sort and print.

Regards

Konrad

I am looking at the addpftrg on a V4r5M0 box. And it is not avail. I
believe V5R1 is when it was introduced.

SQL is an additional licensed program that many customers don't buy.. If

you have access to their machine through a PC, you can use Operation 
Navigator's SQL feature.. Also, if you want to test to see if the
trigger 
is working, do a DSPPFM on the file.. It will fire that trigger a
zillion 
times.

Just be aware, that READ triggers are very very dangerous.. Use
sparingly.

Konrad & Malcolm, Thanks for your input. Don't want to beat a dead horse

here. 
One more question. Malcolm. Your suggestion about strsql reminded me of 
something else... On the customer that I am trying to do this. I am not 
able to run the strslq command. Also I am not 100% sure about this but
if 
I do a GO CMDSQL ... I only have a couple of menu options. Could 
something not have been ordered on this box? Just installed beginning of

the year. Missing a licensed product (DB2 Query Mgr and SQL DevKit for 
AS/400)
Thanks again for input

Pete

Pete,

I would agree with Konrad that it would be a good idea to do a bit more 
investigation, although there is a good case for an os400 bug. *Read= is
a fairly new trigger program option, and a quick check of the ibm w
ebsite 
produced the following APAR whereby a decimal data error in Quer= y
produced the same error you are seeing (the error was incorrectly gen 
erated).



Another way to test your problem would be to use the STRSQL command, th
en 
type in the command SELECT * FROM GELMAS and press Enter. If SQL i= s
causing your error, you should see it crop up.

As to how to report an APAR, I have not had to do so, but it looks as t 
hough you will need a customer number of a customer with a valid servic=
e contract in order to submit one. Ibm should be able to tell you how=
to go about it. No doubt the first thing they will want to know is i= f
you have all the latest fixes installed.

Good luck,
Malcolm
