Re: Where to put a trigger program...

Triggers are regarded as database objects, hence the recommendation to keep them in the same place as your other database objects, (tables, views, indexes, etc.)

Consider also if there any application impacts if triggers >are< placed in a separate library:

- Commitment control
- Backup and recovery implications
- Library authorities

(Simpler if they're in the same library.)

Hi All,

The standard in our shop is that files/tables go in FILLIB and programs go
in PGMLIB.
My requirement is to create a trigger (RPG) program and I'm undecided as to
which library to put the program in.

IBM recommends the data library (
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i_73/dbp/rbaforzahftrg.htm)
but this goes against our shop standard. The document suggests the file
library but I can't find any documentation as to why the file library.

Is there any reason I shouldn't/can't use PGMLIB?

Thanks,

Rob
