Re: subject: RE: subject: pgm that triggered the trigger pgm?

Tom,

how do _know_ someone didn't simply use UPDDTA to change the program name in 
> the record?


On some of my files I have *BEFORE triggers with ALWREPDTA(*YES). The 
trigger updates the buffer with the date/time and user ID, so even using 
UPDDTA results in it getting updated. If the file had a field reserved for 
the program name, the trigger could get that easily too and update it as 
well.

Database journaling could be a far better choice. 


Agreed; in many scenarios it is. It certainly provide a more complete audit 
trail plus the ability to do rollbacks, etc.
