Re: On Triggers and library lists.

I recently screwed up a production system because I ran a sql statement
with a qualified table name and the triggers fired in the wrong library.

I think a properly designed trigger should know what’s going on if it’s
expected to insert/update other files.

Hi Nathan,

Thanks for your reply.

I understand what you are saying but I'm pretty happy about which program
is being called and why.

What I'm concerned about is the 'other' files the trigger program updates
being in a different library to the file with the trigger on.

thanks,
Craig

Craig,

When you add new triggers you can specify the name of the "file" and the
"program" library. If you leave the library names to the default *LIBL,
then your runtime library list determines which program in which library

is

called by file trigger events.
