Just out of curiosity Kevin - do you ever put *LIBL as the Program Library or is
it always a real library?

I haven't tried *LIBL and I'm not saying I think it's a good idea, but I don't see
why it wouldn't work.

thanks,
Craig

One technique I’ve seen for triggers is to have the actual trigger

I’d be interested to find out if anyone else uses this as a general
approach?

Absolutely! Kevin uses a table, we use a data area to turn the actual
trigger processing 'off' for whatever reason. Don't need it often,
but when we do, it's been invaluable.
