ASSIGN
When Progress updates a particular field in a database record, Progress fires all applicable ASSIGN triggers. Unlike the other database events, this one monitors a specific field rather than a table. ASSIGN triggers execute when the contents of the associated field are modified. The trigger procedure executes at the end of a statement that assigns a new value to the field and after any necessary re-indexing. If the statement contains several field assignments (for example, UPDATE name city st), Progress fires each applicable ASSIGN trigger at the end of the statement. If any trigger fails, Progress undoes the statement (unless the code specifies NO-UNDO). For more information on replication-related triggers and database replication, see the Progress Database Administration Guide and Reference .
