Re: Trigger question

Might I suggest a different way?

Rather that copying the data from the buffer to a data structure and back,
set the data structure equal to the address for the buffer offset.  Example:

D OUTDS    E DS                  ExtName(XXX)  Based(TbAftPtr)

     TbAftPtr = %Addr(TbBufAry(TbAftOfs + 1));

Then all you have to do is update the fields in your data structure and exit
the trigger.

I hope this helps,
