Re: Trigger-happy

Just out of curiosity Kevin - do you ever put *LIBL as the Program Library
or is it always a real library?

I haven't tried *LIBL and I'm not saying I think it's a good idea, but I
don't see why it wouldn't work.

thanks,
Craig

I’d be interested to find out if anyone
else uses this as a general approach?

Absolutely! Kevin uses a table, we use a data area to turn the actual
trigger processing 'off' for whatever reason. Don't need it often, but
when we do, it's been invaluable.
