Greg,

A "Before Insert" Trigger should do this easily and cleanly.

I recently added an ISO date and ISO time field to an existing database file (DDS). This file is populated by our TrustedLink EDI software when we receive an inbound PO. I guess I had hoped it would capture the date/time the record was created. Tli support says the EDI translator won't update those "automatically".

Anyone know of a method of getting these fields to update with current info upon creation? Otherwise, I'll have to update them in my RPG processing program.

TIA,
Greg
