Re: Database Trigger Programs

Only one thought:  Why do you say "ridiculously large"?  Why not just make 
it 32,767 long in the first place  and then leave it alone forever? 

The bits don't cost much, especially if you use the recycled ones.  The 
List Owner (David Gibbs) sometimes has a special on them as a matter of 
fact.

Hi All!

When creating a trigger program (in RPG/ILE) there is a variable length
section that contains the before and after image of the record that is
changed.  I know how to access them with the offsets.

My question is:  How is the length of the data structure (for the first
parameter of the trigger program) calculated?  I always have to make the
data area ridiculously large, then go into debug mode to see where it 
ends.
Is there a way to do this programmatically?  Any thoughts are appreciated.
