RE: CPF32C6 - Trigger operation not successful

Michael, I'm at V5R2 and testing the following code at the moment...

             PGM        PARM(&FILE &TRIGGER &EXISTS) 
/*********************************************************************/ 
/* Declare variables...                                              */ 
/*********************************************************************/ 
             DCL        VAR(&FILE) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10) 
             DCL        VAR(&TRIGGER) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(20) 
             DCL        VAR(&EXISTS) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1) 
             DCL        VAR(&YES) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1) VALUE('Y') 
             DCL        VAR(&NO) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1) VALUE('N') 
             DCL        VAR(&RECCOUNT) TYPE(*DEC) LEN(10 0) 
/*********************************************************************/ 
/* Delete workfile in qtemp, then build new workfile...              */ 
/*********************************************************************/ 
             DLTF       FILE(QTEMP/OUTFILE) 
             MONMSG     MSGID(CPF2105) /* Ignores object not found + 
                          error on DLTF attempt. */ 
             DSPFD      FILE(*LIBL/&FILE) TYPE(*TRG) + 
                          OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) OUTFILE(QTEMP/OUTFILE) 
/*********************************************************************/
/* Determine trigger state by attempting to copy a record from the   */
/* outfile, the result of this action can be used to deduce if the   */
/* trigger does or doesn't exist...                                  */
/*********************************************************************/
             DLTF       FILE(QTEMP/CPYFILE) 
             MONMSG     MSGID(CPF2105) /* Ignores object not found + 
                          error on DLTF attempt. */ 
             CPYF       FROMFILE(QTEMP/OUTFILE) + 
                          TOFILE(QTEMP/CPYFILE) MBROPT(*ADD) + 
                          CRTFILE(*YES) INCREL((*IF TRFILE *EQ + 
                          &FILE) (*AND TRNAM *EQ &TRIGGER)) 
             MONMSG     MSGID(CPF2817) EXEC(DO) /* If attempt to cpyf +
                          on empty member then file has no triggers. */
             CHGVAR     VAR(&EXISTS) VALUE(&NO) 
             GOTO       CMDLBL(EXIT) 
             ENDDO 
/*********************************************************************/
/* If the cpyf did copy records then that proves that the file does  */
/* have the trigger applied to it...                                 */
/*********************************************************************/
             CHGVAR     VAR(&EXISTS) VALUE(&NO) 
             RTVMBRD    FILE(QTEMP/CPYFILE) NBRCURRCD(&RECCOUNT) 
             IF         COND(&RECCOUNT *NE 0) THEN(DO) 
             CHGVAR     VAR(&EXISTS) VALUE(&YES) 
             ENDDO 
/*********************************************************************/
 EXIT:       RETURN 
 ENDPGM:     ENDPGM 

I can then test the value of &EXISTS in the CL that calls this program and 
that tells me if the trigger does or doesn't exist.
