If the "update programs" are supoused to keep the files in sync, then referetial constraints will be excelent, they will cause to abort the program that is not doign the proper job, so you can correct it.

If you need to keep an eye without the user toticing, a trigger will do the job, every update will give you the opportunitty to check that record, and send you an alert if the change was incorrect.

HI We have a situation where I wrote an RPG program that checks the file
integrity here between say our item's and the retailers (sometimes they
want their item numbers in the EDI for example), so we have to keep trck
of this relationship. My program checks several files to make sure they
are in sync.

Short of running my program every 15 minutes, what are some of the
options
for automatic checking and reporting to MIS and the users?

As soon as something is out of balance, I would like to be notified.

Thanks,
Steve
