RE: Commitment control and open data paths with triggers

["Lim Hock-Chai" <Lim.Hock-Chai@xxxxxxxx>]

As far as I know, it will always fire the trigger program.  Commitment control 
has no effect on it.

Did you put the trigger program in debug to make sure that it really did not 
call it?  My guess is that the trigger program opens the file for output only, 
which cause the data to be held in the buffer.

Subject: Commitment control and open data paths with triggers


I have been reading documentation and setting up test scenarios all day 
and can't get past this last obstacle.

I have a file called TEST with an RPGLE deletion trigger to write a 
history file TESTH.  In the trigger, TESTH is left open for performance. I 
have a little test program that takes the commitment control flag as an 
entry parm.  It deletes a record and then rolls back.  When I call the 
program with commitment control on, it fires the trigger and rolls back 
just fine.  In the same job, when I then call the program with commitment 
control off, it deletes the record but never fires the trigger.  Keep in 
mind that I have to execute STRCMTCTL before running the program for the 
first time and can not ENDCMTCTL between the calls because TESTH is still 
open.

This is a tough one.  My everlasting gratitude to anyone who can help me 
get past this.

Regards,

Mark
