Re: Trigger state: *DISABLED -- what the heck is that, and from what OS revision, and what do I do about it?

Use CHGPFTRG File(FileName) TRG(TriggerName) STATE(*ENABLED)

This parameter allows you to activate or inactivate a trigger (instead of
deleting/recreating it).

Thanks.

Something like that MIGHT actually be useful.

IF it could be done while there were users in the file.

Unfortunately, I just found out that it can't. So it's no more useful than just adding or removing the trigger (indeed, worse, because PRTTRGPGM doesn't indicate anything about whether a trigger is deactivated), and looks like the result of somebody in Rochester having WAAAYY too much time on his or her hands.


And in this case, unless there's something else besides CHGPFTRG that will put triggers into a disabled state, somebody at the customer went to a LOT of trouble to turn Workflow off while making it LOOK like it was still turned on.
