Hi, Jon:

"Any problem in computer science can be solved by adding one more level of indirection."

This seems a natural fit for a small CL "wrapper" program that accepts the trigger parameters, and the CL *PGM is "attached" to the *FILE (with ADDPFTRG), and then it CALLs the "actual" trigger program for that file, passing those same parameters. You might even be able to get away with issuing a TFRCTL to the trigger program, so long as the wrapper CL program is an OPM CL *PGM.
The "big idea" is that this CL program, once written, will never change, so who cares if OS/400 data management places a *SHRRD lock on it? It is the program that it calls that we care about.

All the best,

Mark S. Waterbury

Anyone care to share what they do to facilitate being able to bring a new version of a trigger program into use.

For performance reasons we don't want to set on LR on each call - but how do you make sure that it gets refreshed when a new version is available? I can think of a number of options but each one I come up seems to have its own issues.
