Note: Built-In Function Rules Usage Options

Deletes standard DICTIONARY or FILE level triggers from a nominated field for subsequent replacement by the PUT_TRIGGER Built-In Function.

When deleting FILE level triggers from a field, the file involved must have been previously placed into an edit session by the START_FILE_EDIT Built-In Function.

Normal authority and task tracking rules apply to the use of this Built-In Function.

This is a Specialized Built-In Function for use in a Development Environment only.

Arguments

No	Type	Req/ Opt	Description	Min Len	Max Len	Min Dec	Max Dec
1	A	Req	Level of triggers that are to be deleted. D = Dictionary level F = File level	1	1
2	A	Req	Name of field in dictionary or file from which triggers are to be deleted.	1	10
3 *	N	Req	Sequence number to control deletion. Only triggers with a sequence number greater than or equal to this value are deleted. If this argument is not specified, a value of zero (0) is assumed, so all triggers will match this control value.	1	3	0	0
4 *	A	Req	Generic description of trigger used to control deletion. Only checks which have a description generically matching this value will be deleted. If this value is not specified, a default value of blanks is assumed, so all checks will match this control value.	1	30

* The deletion control sequence number and description are related by an "AND" relationship. So if you pass values of 500 and 'IEW', only triggers that have a sequence number greater than or equal to 500 and a description that starts with 'IEW' will be deleted.
