Hi, Eric,
Is this related to your prior e-mail about creating an archive of source members each time they are changed? I do not think a "trigger" is the way you want to do this. :-/
A trigger will "fire" on each and every record added, changed or deleted.
But, when using SEU, or RDi, etc., the editor reads the entire member into the editor buffer, then you edit that, and when you press F3=Exit or type a SAVE command, it then rewrites the entire member. So, the "trigger" is "fired" (called) for an INSERT for every record in the member. :-o
That is not going to tell you "what changed."
Are you familiar with the IBM CMPPFM command? PDM option 54, IIRC. Try it! It is based on the IBM mainframe SUPERC tool. :-) Similar to "diff" in the Unix/Linux world. ;-)
Hope that helps.
All the best,
Mark S. Waterbury
