The following is the data structure for a file with 6 fields and a
record

You are seeing this problem because the trigger buffer changed, most
likely by upgrading your OS.  We also used to hardcode a data structure
that had all our fields in it, but that isn't the right way to do it.
You can hardcode the first half of the data structure (down to the
arrow) but then you need to use the offsets in that structure to find
the record map.  If you have a data structure with your record layout
that is based on a pointer, then you set that pointer to be the address
of the parm, plus the offset that is in your data structure.  In your
case, OrgRecOffset.  You need to do the same thing for your new record
offset.  Coding it this way will actually make your coding easier and
shorter.  

Let me know if you need (or would like) more details
