Norman, Unidata:
The person running the CREATE.TRIGGER verb needs to be the owner of the file you are adding a trigger to and the trigger program needs to be globally cataloged. HELP CREATE.TRIGGER should get you started.

Before image you could just read the record from the file. 2. After image is what's in the record parameter passed into the trigger subroutine. 3. You need different subroutines for the BEFORE UPDATE trigger and the BEFORE DELETE trigger, as they take different numbers of parameters. I've never used an SB+ subroutine inside of a trigger. Not sure if that would work. The problem with doing that is, what happens if a non-SB+ application is performing the file updates? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Norman Morgan Sent: Wednesday, June 27, 2007 12:09 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] Trigger help It's time to wave the white flag and display my ignorance. After all these years of writing MV code, I am attempting to use a trigger routine for the first time. I need to find out what is causing the "mysterious disappearance" of the contents of certain fields in our PRODUCT master file. It looks like an update trigger would be the best way, but how do I: A) compare the before and after images of the record to catch changes in those fields B) determine what program is doing the felonious update and what user is running it. I can do all of these easily in an SB+ subroutine, but it looks like I need to do it in barefoot UniBasic. Can someone give me some pointers? =========================================================== Norman Morgan <> [EMAIL PROTECTED] <> http://www.brake.com =========================================================== A Basic programmer's girlfriend wears a G$ =========================================================== ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
