Why wouldn't the new stuff need additional coding? Let's face it, most
developers still use RLA versus SQL to update their data, especially in a
maintenance program like you're talking about. When they do so, very few
build a LF that only uses the fields they maintain versus the PF or a LF
that selects all fields. And few developers will use the %fields in their
update operation code. And, %fields is not even supported on the WRITE
statement only on the UPDATE statement. So how would you not change your
existing code to not write out default values in there without switching
over to a LF that only selects certain fields or go to SQL instead of RLA?

In my opinion the trigger is the better bet.

And submit a DCR to get %fields in the WRITE statement.
