  • Subject: Trigger program being called recursively

Hi all,

I've a problem with a trigger program. The trigger is *AFTER/*UPDATE and,
when fired, it needs to update records in the same file. How do I make sure
it does not call itself recursively (as I am currently receiving this error
message).

Parms on ADDPFTRG CL cmd

Physical file

  . . . . . . . . . > EWR
  Library  . . . . . . . . . . .     *LIBL
Trigger time . . . . . . . . . . > *AFTER
Trigger event  . . . . . . . . . > *UPDATE
Program  . . . . . . . . . . . . > T_EWRR01
  Library  . . . . . . . . . . .     *LIBL
Replace trigger  . . . . . . . . > *YES
Allow Repeated Change  . . . . . > *YES
Threadsafe . . . . . . . . . . .   *UNKNOW
Multithreaded job action . . . .   *SYSVAL
Trigger update condition . . . . > *CHANGE

John.
