Re: Need generic routine to invoke trigger program, using C language _Rread perhaps?

[Scott Klement <rpg400-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not sure that I understand.  How would a program doing _Rread() -- 
which reads a record -- replace a routine that does 'UPDATE SET 
somefield=somefield'

Surely an update and a read are two very different things?  And invoke 
different triggers with different trigger buffer parameters?

Did you mean to say that you want to use _Rupdate()?

Or are you planning to only test read triggers?
