Jim, are external triggers out of the question? Are you trying to use SQL 
triggers for cross-platform compatibility or something? Because, as I bet you 
know, external triggers (those that do not use the SQL coding, rather call 
standard RPG or C) can see the member information.

This was interesting and helpful.
