Re: I need your vote on this...

In your case, I agree. If it was a user written tagret program. In this case,
it is a system trigger program (QYYsomething-or-other as I recall), so we
really get no usable information. I would compare it to the journal isting
QDBPUT as the program that wrote the record, instead of our application
program.
