Trigger programs are not intended to execute commit or rollback. I think it 
might even be invalid to issue a commit in a trigger, but I'm not certain. 
The intent is that a trigger should adopt the same commit level as the 
initiating process. That process is responsible for committing changes. I 
don't know how that fits in with DRDA though. Does it handle two phase commits?
