Hi David, The technical reason why the trigger does not fire is because a file delete is not a data manipulation language (DML) action, but a data definition language (DDL) action. SQL inserts, updates, deletes, and selects are DML (as well as high level language (RPG) reads, writes, updates and deletes). PF creates and deletes are DDL. It works the same way with other databases (e.g., Oracle, TRUNCATE will not cause a trigger to fire because it is a DDL instruction that clears the file without rollback possibilities). If you do a DELETE FROM filename, then if you mess up, you can rollback the transactions without committing. Hope this helps.

If so, for each record in the file? Dave
