Title: AW: Trigger must know his status

Barbara, thats what i want but i have some questions

You say i should call the trigger with no parameters.
That means that i fill the parms with blanks and
make my call.

*entry        plist                                     
              parm                    trigger_parm      
              parm                    input_length      

If i can do that there is another questions for me.
After the write operation which execute the trigger
i call the trigger by myself.
Has the trigger at this time the data or the
current record from the last run
(same activation group) ?

Thanks for any help!

Stefan, you could set up your trigger program to do end-program
actions if it's called with no parameters.  But you'd have to
call it yourself - as far as I know there's no automatic way
to get a program called when a file is closed.

You _can_ get a program called when an activation group ends -
see the CEE4RAGE API.  (This doesn't work for the default
activation group, though.)
