RE: Use of a trigger...? is this areasonable?

Booth,

I haven't seen the fine details for V5R1 *read trigger addition.

However, it occurred to me that _IF_ a *read *before could alter the input
buffer sent to the requestor this could help your situation.
e.g. add *read *before trigger, perform business rules, if the requestor
not authorised or whatever then, change sensitive fields to "classified" or
blanks or zeros or whatever. As this is read only it won't affect the real
file.

the $64k question here of course is whether the trigger can alter what the
requestor sees on *read triggers?
