Trigger Buffer should include Event Pgm, PgmLib, Procedure, and Statement (boost performance) Merged

Trigger programs should readily know the program, procedure, and statement that triggered them. This information is available by retrieving call stack and ignoring OS call stack entries but looking this up hurts performance (i.e. we want IBM to efficiently tell us which program initiated request). If IBM can include this information in trigger buffer automatically (or optionally) and do it more efficiently than we can via API calls then please by all means hook this up.

TRGBUF+
PGM CHAR(10)
PGMLIB CHAR(10)
PRC CHAR(64) or perhaps 128 but not 4096... (this field is a nice to have)
STM CHAR(10)

We love being able to STRDBG &PGMLIB/&PGM, F15 to select Listing View, and then Find the CSE &STM (inner line number) that triggered the trigger program. Helps us easily solve difficult problems.

We use triggers to capture history on everything we care about or need to troubleshoot. SQL temporal tables appear to be similar concept but lack these critically important fields (and thus we do not use them)(they should support them).

    Returning this information in the trigger buffer is not simple to implement and would have a performance impact on all triggers. A trigger solution will not be pursued.

    There is an existing enhancement request for new generated columns to return the program information. The is the solution we are considering for implementation. This Idea is being marked as a duplicate of the other request.
