Thank You. My hope is renewed. I had that thought in the back of my
mind!

You can. See
http://code.midrange.com/index.php?id=2b2560d170
The trick is to accept the parameters (buffer) and pass it to the
programs that perform the processing. In your case, if you just want to
email, accept the parameters and don't update anything.

Never having learned much more coding than RPG 2, I guess I was hoping
for a simple way to trigger just a CLP - which would probably contain a
query or two which would "select" out only the records for the vendor in
question, and only those which have been changed or added since last
"trigger". Then, probably an auto PC support download, and an email
with attachment out to the vendor. I had these visions

Yes it should "be work". But it won't work. :-)
When a trigger is fired many parameters are implicitly added. Including
such information as to what file, in what library, was updated. Also
what the record format look like before, and after, the change. That
way you can automatically do stuff like "I only care if they changed
certain fields on the PO. Like, if they changed the shipping address I
could not care. But if they changed the status to say shipped I want to
send a notice to the customer that it was shipped at this date/time on
this truck.
Now, with all the parameters automatically sent to the program you
should NOT chain back to the file that the trigger was based on. Why
would you have a need to? All the information is in the parameters.
Unless you are doing something really weird like sending the customer a
list of, not only this po, but all po's they have with you.
(As I am typing I just realized that I am confusing PO's, customers and
vendors - try to get past that.)

RE: Brainstorming
Thanks, Rob. I will now have to STUDY a lot more!
I still think my "simple" idea should be work. :-)

RE: Brainstorming
This said to look at previous messages, but there were none??
Message . . . . : Error occurred in trigger program.
Cause . . . . . : The trigger program which was called as the result
of a
database insert, update, delete, or read operation failed. See the
previous
messages in the job log to determine the error. The error code is 2
for
trigger POTRIGGER in library BPCSCDUSR type *SYS. This error code can
be
used to determine the trigger which caused the error, as follows:
1 -- *BEFORE *INSERT trigger
2 -- *AFTER *INSERT trigger
3 -- *BEFORE *UPDATE trigger
4 -- *AFTER *UPDATE trigger
5 -- *BEFORE *DELETE trigger
6 -- *AFTER *DELETE trigger

We do have BPCS. Sounds very simple. Unless you are really banging out
purchase orders you shouldn't have to have a NEP job processing trigger
requests. Heck the key think time may be more significant. After all,
how many people would submit that process off as a batch job to PO Entry
versus online if they were doing it by modifying the PO programs versus
a trigger? A few? At least, sure.
If you need a sample shell to work with let me know.

RE: Brainstorming
Sounds like a plan. I would separate the task into two tasks: the
trigger that accepts the changes, and a submitted or never-ending job
that creates PDFs, sends email, etc. The trigger process should be as
lightweight as possible since it's fired for each row processed. This
also allows you to change the feature set in the future without
necessarily changing the trigger program.
We don't have BPCS so can't comment on the actual files used.

One of our mfg. outsourcing suppliers would like to know whenever we
create/modify a P.O. (BPCS HPH/HPO) against their vendor number.
Although I've never done this, I was wondering if a trigger could be
assigned to these files, then at least an email, or email with say a pdf
or excel file attachment, would be automatically sent to their company.
Thanks in advance!
