I have put the trigger programs in the same library as the file they are connected with. It makes it easier when doing restores so you don't have to panic about the programs being elsewhere.

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
