If a second post shows up I apologize. I had a mishap with the tab key. :) OK, Thanks for the replies. I am going to be looking up a lot of what you mentioned.
Maybe if I try to explain the situation again you might see something that I didn't properly express the first time. I have a system with a file named IM (item master) There are both basic and PROC programs accessing it. Management has decided that we need to be able to have one company write code and distribute it to all of the other entities. We have done this before by using an include file that each entity adjusted to fit their individual file names and order of attributes. Example being that we all store an English part name in the IM but not in the same attribute. Operations has decided that we will have all companies move to the same file structure. So every company will now have a MPF (manufacturing product file) and that it will have the part name in attribute 2. For some reason they will not continue using the include file. I cannot explain why. I have not had it explained to me. Global code is being worked on. We must use it and we must have the file structure set up by a specific date. However, They do not want us to touch every program that currently accesses the files that have a global equivalent. Since they will be moving to one process they want time to evaluate each portion. We still have to deploy part of it now. Our idea was to create triggers on the files to keep the local and global files in sync. Triggers are not required by anything. Any idea that someone believes is better will be looked at. I am just a code monkey. I am doing what I have been told to do and we are not given an option on the implementation of the code or the structure. I am going to go look up transaction journaling and activeMQ.
