BBjTriggerData::getWriteBuffer

Description

In BBj 6.0 and higher, this method returns the record passed into a call to WRITE RECORD in a BBj program or the record being written to the data file in an SQL INSERT or UPDATE statement. This is the raw data written to disk so a string template should typically be used to parse the record into usable fields if processing of the information is required.
