Hi John,
        My problem isnt with the recursive call (Yet!) , but that I cannot
seem to update any records in the trigger program apart from the one that
originally evoked the trigger.

If i do not specify Allow Repeated change(*YES) on the trigger, the trigger
program crashes with a record lock on the original record. With it on *YES,
the original record is updated. In both cases the key used to get the record
for update in the trigger program is different to that of the original
record.

Thanks,
        Martin

Martin,

I just went through this problem a couple of weeks ago. Wrap your trigger
program in a CLP, or compile it so that the PEP is a CLLE procedure, and it
will then work recursively.
