Asynchronous processing is also important when using triggers - when you want 
the main process not to be delayed too long and what has to be done is not 
needed in real time. Yes, you could use SBMJOB, but it will be slower.

no one is providing an example of where an asyncronous transaction is 
needed in a business application. 

Pretty much any process that requires moving data from one host to another 
is a good candidate for asyncronous operation. It insulates the users from 
various nasty items like network outages/lags, hosts being unavailable, etc. 

We use just such a setup for pretty much all our outbound shipping 
information, edi and otherwise. The user says 'ship it', and then goes to 
work on something else. If there is a problem, the system can notify them 
later, no reason to have them tied up doing something useless like watching 
a cursor blink while the transfer occurs.
