Re: Anyone using the *AFTER *READ Triggers in V5R1/V5R2?

You can even do some nice things with a traditional SQL View.   The CASE
statement would allow the users to see a meaningful value returned like
'ACTIVE'
or 'InACTIVE'    instead of the real values of the field (like   '0'  or
'1').

CREATE VIEW clearview
As Select
Ordno,
CASE  Status
When 'O'  Then 'Open'
When 'C'  Then 'Closed'
End
AS Status

or even more complicated ones with arithmatic functions against fields in
the record.

It seems to me you'd be better off implementing views that return UDF
values for the columns in question.
