Before Trigger changes not in changed record

We're missing something here. Rpgle on 7.1. I'm working with another programmer on his pgm.

Created trigger with
ADDPFTRG FILE(AUTUSERS) TRGTIME(*BEFORE) TRGEVENT(*UPDATE)
PGM(AUTUSERE00) RPLTRG(*YES) ALWREPCHG(*YES)

Data is moved from buffer to a ds:

NewStart = NewRcdOff - 96 + 1;
OrgStart = OrgRcdOff - 96 + 1;

NewFileDS = %Subst( DataRcds : NewStart : NewRcdLen );
OrgFileDS = %Subst( DataRcds : OrgStart : OrgRcdLen );

Everything lines up in the DSs so the pointers and %subst seems to have worked.

New (actually changed) record is copied to another DS

NewFileSav = NewFileDS;

Some changes are made and applied to NewFileSav. Then that ds moved back into trigger new or after part of buffer:

%Subst( DataRcds : NewStart : NewRcdLen ) = NewFileSav;

In debug, I can see the changed data in datarcds, but it's not being applied to the record when the trigger ends. Only my original changes that fired the trigger.

I've looked in the redbook (changed the addpftgr to alwrepchg(*yes)). Googled this. Any other suggestions?


TIA
Jack
