Re: Triggers

1. I don't know. I'll try it next time I'm on the system.
2. You will have a mess.I am assuming the Non Green Screen app is not simply a
GUI session (ie. Seagull's GUI/400). We have VB applications that update AS/400
records using SQL packages. The trigger fires, then an error code is set if the
trigger does not like the record. The PC receives an indication that the record
was not written, with an SQL code to describe the error. There would be no
interactive session associated with the I/O request, so the program would fail.
