I have a situation where multiple facilities are using a common file
that is related to individual files in separate libraries for each
facility. I would like to have a trigger program on the common file
that can write to one or more of the individual files based on some
condition. In other words,
A trigger occurs due to an update on COMMONFILE, and based on some
condition, I want to write a record to FACILITY1 and FACILITY3.
Is there anyway to do this without having to hardcode knowledge of the
individual files? My first thought was a multiformat logical, but that
requires knowing specific format names that correspond to the physical
files. And although it is possible to create a logical file with a
single format that includes all the individual physical files, it is not
possible for an RPG program to use that file, at least not by defining
the file on an F-spec.
