Re: Trigger Program Question

If the IN operation is really the problem then an alternative option is to use User Spaces to replace the data areas.

Because they can be resolved via a pointer they are just like any other memory in the program and require no operation to "see" the current data. If there is potential for more than one program to update the space then you might want to implement some "in use" semaphore to ensure that the updates don't screw each other up.

We have the same Trigger Program (in RPGLE) defined on multiple files,
which get updated from multiple different jobs. The program writes an entry
to a data queue. The total updates to all the files easily exceed a billion
a day.

I have a few questions. How is the program invoked on file update? Does it
always get a fresh copy? If not, is it possible to code something which
will execute only once?

What I am trying to do is this: The program is reading 4 data areas using
'IN' statement. I have found that the IN statement is about 7-8 times more
'expensive' than CHAIN. I am trying to figure out if there is a way to
increase the efficiency of the Trigger program. All the 4 data areas are
really static, but CAN be changed, hence the 'IN' statement for every cycle.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
