Re: AW: Trigger must know his status

[Jim Langston <jimlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Stefan,

Triggers get all their data from the parameters passed to it.
Normally this data contains a copy of the record that triggered
the program.

Since you are calling the trigger program yourself, and passing
the parameter yourself, it shouldn't contain any record information.

Then in your trigger program you could do:

C          If        Trigger_Parm = *Blanks
C*** process closing down here ***
 
C          Else
C*** Normal trigger processing here
