Last year, having switched back from Unidata to Universe, you all helped me with simple triggers - which on universe are made as file indexes.

Now I am trying to apply that to a NEXT.ID but it's stored in a DICT, not uncommon for PICK. Trying to make an index on a dict, however, didn't work.

>CREATE.INDEX DICT KHTEST TRIGGER
 
Only records of type A, D, I or S allowed!
I know this trigger works as I had applied it to the data portion originally. Ideas, suggestions, thoughts? Thanks

Might there be a VOC entry called TRIGGER that is not a dictionary type entry (i.e. A, D, I, or S)?

CREATE.INDEX might be picking it up first.
