Actually it is an interactive or batch job. Just the one that is accessing the DB and causing the trigger event.

Triggers run in the job that is processing the file. I believe that this even applies to activation groups. If your trigger is ACTGRP(*CALLER) it will run in the same group as the application program.

You can think of trigger programs as being indirectly called by the IO statements in your program.

How does one go about debugging a trigger program?

Since the trigger is at the DB level, it's not and interactive or batch job.

Is it similar to debugging a batch job where you must start a service job? Or is there another method to do step by step debugging of the trigger program?
