Re: Triggers not always executing

<I'd look at the trigger program itself for some condition which causes it 
to bypass whatever it's supposed to output.>

Ron - When it happens I go into debug mode. Unfortunately when it happens 
I can duplicate it on my test system and the trigger program runs as 
expected. But for whatever reason it appears to not have fired in 
production. I agree with you in terms of trying to eliminate the 
possibility that my code has bypassed its intended function. That is where 
I continue to hunt for any possible bugs.

<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.> 

Kim - was the discovery of your error prior to V5R1? (Susan & Jon's 
templates were written with V5R1 functionality in mind.) What did you have 
to re-write in order to correct this? In other words, how did you define 
the buffer to pass only the file image?
