I see all kinds of problems with that, the first being that CL programs have to 
be loaded every time they are called. Lot of overhead.

I have a much better solution called a Trigger Mediator. The trigger mediator 
lives between the data base and the trigger service program. Using the trigger 
mediator, you can instantly add or remove tables from triggers and instantly 
add or remove all tables from triggers. The trigger mediator program itself 
never needs to be modified. Everything is table driven. The best part to me is 
that everything is extremely fast and you can modify the trigger service 
programs without bringing down the entire system. 

I would be glad to send you a copy of the trigger mediator and the associated 
programs to maintain the trigger tables if you want to use it.
