Great way to present the idea, Booth!  Basically, the trigger program is a
middle-man, dealing only with the I/O buffer.  The I/O buffer gets passed
from program to program during the trigger process, something like this:
RPG -> Data management -> Trigger program -> Data management -> DASD.  Of
course, your trigger program can also affect OTHER files (other than the one
being updated), and they would need F specs (or SQL statements.)
