Hi All,
I am trying to make a trigger program as resilient as possible.
Lets imagine you have a file called ABC which triggers program XYZ on
insert. This creates a couple of interesting problems...
(1) You must ensure that the triggered program has all objects it
requires in the library list.
(2) What happens if someone use UPDDTA without file ABC being in the
library list, i.e. UPDDTA MYLIB/ABC.
and so on...
Does anyone have any ideas that would allow a program to be triggered
from anywhere but still run successfully. So far I have considered...
(1) Placing the trigger program in the same library as the file it is
triggered from.
(2) Using a generic trigger program that sets the correct library list
using either a job description or library list held in a common file
linked to the library/file/member/trigger type/trigger time.
The purpose is to stop trigger programs from falling over due to objects
not being available as well as making the config of them flexible.
Thanks in advance.
