Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions. Turns out the solution was
relatively simple. I just needed to use PERFORM ED instead of EXECUTE
ED to make ED run in the wrapper program's workspace. This is in PICK
flavor. Seems like I once knew the difference between EXECUTE and
PERFORM in PIC
Triggers would be nice, but the'd have to work on type19 files.
Modifying ED is simple, but you might want to wrap other verbs, so
generalized wrapper pgm is good. Protect the vanilla versions of ED,
DELETE, UPDATE.RECORD, REVISE as 'remote-controlled' R-items that will
only execute if executed b

John,
Why write a wrapper?
ED is a scrudgy BASIC program - (uv Account BP ED.B). You could just modify
that.

It appears that ED is aware of an active select list 0, even when it is not
using it. Interesting behavior - is this a bug or feature? Well, in
INFORMATION flavour accounts - at least!
In INFORMATION flavour, when you 'X' out, this appears to kill the active
select list 0. Hence, upon the next in

Have you thought of using trigger subroutines to keep the audit trail?
Much easier, and the before- and after-records and keys are available for
you right there in the arguments. :D

You're not wrong. Triggers on files came in at rev 10.

You might try this. I am not on a system right now, so I can't test
this until later.

Other things to consider:
1. What happens if someone uses XEQ within ED to edit another record.
2. What about people using UPDATE.RECORD
3. And what about REVISE (ENTRO/MODIFY)
There are many different ways to get around audit trails if people want to.

We don't have this type of problem using PI/Open flavour - something to do
with EXECUTE being run in a different process space under other flavours.
Have a look at the PASSLIST keyword that can be used with EXECUTE.
Something like:
READLIST ID.LIST
ELSE STOP
EXECUTE "ED filename " PASSLIST ID
Humm...got me there...don't know when they added the ability to create
Triggers on Non-SQL tables?

I wrote a wrapper for the ED command last week to keep an

writing a

comparing afterwards.
