Re: system event trigger whenever a source file member is updated

If instead of using a row trigger you use a statement trigger would that
work?  Wait, aren't you the poor sap running V3R2?  Forget it.

Unfortunately, I have no flexibility or control over the software
sending the FTPed data. The data will arrive in a new file member and my
program needs to respond to this.

I have thought about file triggers, and I could make it work this way.
The disadvantage is that every new record will invoke the trigger. Each
member could receive several hundred records, causing the the trigger to
invoked be hundreds of times for each member added. What I would like is
a trigger that will be invoked just once for each member added.

Of course, what I would like, and what I have to work with are two
different things.
