RE: Triggers not always executing

We had a problem with triggers a while back and this is what we found:

The reason the trigger program had to be changed is that OS/400 would very
occasionally pass an apostrophe in one of the reserved areas of the trigger
buffer.  Since the trigger buffer was being passed whole to all the
downstream processes the extra apostrophe would cause the parameter to be
truncated.

After much research, it was determined that the best way to deal with the
situation was to pass only the file image portion of the trigger buffer to
the downstream processes.  This involved a re-write of the main
trigger-processing control program.
