  • Subject: Trigger program entry parm overlay situation
  • From: "Wayne Achenbaum" <wache@xxxxxxxxxxx>
  • Date: Fri, 10 Nov 2000 12:56:42 -0500

Hello all, I have a trigger question that I hope someone can help me with. I
have an update trigger on a file and need to interagate the first 10 bytes
of the entry parm to see what file caused me to be in this trigger program.
The problem is the second update from the same  application the entry parm1
passed to the trigger has all zeros in the first 10 bytes and appears the
next 4 bytes are over written as well. I,ve debugged the trigger pgm and
after my logic is completed and before returning I checked the entry parm1.
after the first update its fine at the time the Return is issued.  In
actuality I really have a generic program that is on the trigger and the
entry parms are flowing through. This allows me to makes changes to the
actual trigger pgm w/o getting an exclusive lock on the file (we are 24/7 ),
it also allows me to call or not call the actual datbase updating program
based on the before and after image of the file that cause the firing of the
trigger. I got the same results with or without the front end program  so I
omitted it for simplicity sake.

                                    The following is the code. Can Anyone
Help???  TIA

Basically I am updating a Contract summary file based on some operation
against the contract file.
