RE: Trigger library - how is this used?

Hypothetically, I could have an on-demand process that, with each call, performs
the ADDPFTRG command to a file.  Now this may seem a little extreme if we're 
talking
about a file in a static library, but keep in mind, this process could be 
adding a
trigger to a file in QTEMP.  If I have 300 users executing this process, that 
would
equate to 300 triggers.

Just my rational guess.......

I already have a library containing several triggered files. Neither PDM,
nor WRKLNK, nor DSPLIB could find any objects relevant to the triggering
other than the files, the trigger program they share, nor did WRKLNK find
anything inside the file other than its data member. Neither does a DSPFD
show anything about the trigger other than the program name and which of
the six trigger hooks it's attached to.

On closer examination of the InfoCenter entries for ADDPFTRG in V5R1 and
V5R3, though, I note that starting with V5R1, there appear to be 300
triggering hooks, any of which can presumably be assigned any of the six
flavors, instead of the six fixed triggering hooks, one of each flavor,
that existed through V4R5, which explains why I've never heard of such
things.

Why one would NEED 300 triggers on a file, . . .
