One of the software vendors I work with has done this. What they did was to build a generic trigger program, which they reference on the ADDPFTRG command. The generic trigger when activiated writes it's data to file. A batch job waiting on the same file with an end of file delay then refers to a table to determine which program(s) should be called to re-signal the trigger. Of course, the generic trigger program has to be well thought out, and including extra program calls to re-signal the trigger does have a performance penalty. AFAIK, these triggers are only *AFTER style triggers, just intended to let another application or interface know that a record had been added/changed/deleted.

To make such a change, the file that trigger is based on must not have any locks. This has become unworkable with the number of developers and functional test people involved. We are talking about creating completely generic triggers to call a stored procedure which will either run the activity intended or call one or more other stored procedures. When a change was needed it would be made to that front-end stored procedure. +--- | This is the RPG/400 Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to RPG400-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to RPG400-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to RPG400-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
