Re: PF Trigger question

As of 6.1, you can have recursive RPG programs as long as you are using
"linear-main procedure"
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iadthelp/v8r0/topic/com.ibm.etools.iseries.pgmgd.doc/sc092507155.htm

If your are stuck prior to that, your only alternative is to take advantage
of ILE and make a a program that uses an RPG NOMAIN module along with a
CLLE or CLE procedure as the entry point.

You can take this a step further using a trigger mediator. Alan Campin has
a nice one here:

Last time I looked, the actual trigger program was a C program. But all it
does is look up the procedure to call and them call it.

Which, of course, calls the trigger again. :)

I am not sure I am following this completely, but perhaps an ADD -
*AFTER trigger that calls a program that does an UPDATE, not an ADD,
thereby not pulling the trigger?
