Would it be possible, for interactive jobs, to do a *BEFORE trigger and
handle the error in the trigger program itself with an error window?

It makes sense to me to put data validation and referential integrity
constraints in *BEFORE triggers - where an exception automatically stops
the DBMS from changing the record.

I suppose an error window in the Trigger program would work for 5250 users.
But what about web applications, etc?

Nathan.
