Re: Trigger Processing Question

Rob,
The called program will always be processing the same basic data.
The main concern is that if the processing requirements in the called program
change, what is the best way to ensure that I will always get the latest
version?

Thanks,
 
Jeff Young
Sr. Programmer Analyst

"best" is up to more information.  Earlier (this week?) it was discussed
that if the "other processing" may check some data and then block the
update from going through then you do not want a separate process/job - be
it data queue, sbmjob, whatever.

If you plan on making numerous changes then you may wish to have the
initial trigger program be bare bones and perhaps do NO work (not a single
IF statement or whatever) and just pass the same parameters on to a second
program.  This will allow your initial trigger program to run unchanged
and the program it calls can be changed on a whim.

Then you just have your usual concerns with the initial calling program to
ensure that it is running the new mod and not something out of QRPLOBJ or
whatever.
