Re: Anyone using Triggers to enforce data validation & business rules?

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Would you accept the idea of  the trigger program (or the program called 
by the trigger program) trying  the 5250 response, and if that fails, 
try a web based response, and if that fails try the next kind of response?

It seems that crafted correctly, these solutions become more or less 
generic and easily implemented with new files and new triggers. 
Especially if all you are doing is sending a message to a user and not 
manipulating data.

One thing I learned is that, for my style, the trigger program itself 
should be very small, very generic, and only do traffic cop work.
