Hi Rob,

How about doing at least some of that with a view, e.g.

create view qtemp/test as ( select SRCSEQ, SRCDAT, case when user = 'PDOW' then SRCDTA else 'hidden' end SRCDT
from QCLSRC)
Presumably the view could use USER to link to another file that specifies other rules.

A before read trigger would allow us to do things like programmatically decide if the person has access to a particular row in a table. For instance, a vendor application often decides who has access to certain payroll records based on a number of factors, such as job class, or location, or some such thing. A before read trigger would allow us to lock the barn with that same logic instead of just reporting on who stole the horse. Putting a UDF on every field to duplicate that logic, and returning a null or default value is not near as nice. I've done UDF's. Check out the faq.midrange.com.
