The only possible issue with this...

If your actual trigger does an update to another file that also has
the gentrigger attached, the process will blow up because RPG doesn't
allow recursive programs.

Or, as happens in my Workflow trigger, you simply catch the recursion exception and ignore it: while we made Workflow a trigger, so that the scripts will trip regardless of whether the file modification is done from our application, we also designated it a "well-known limitation" that changes made by Workflow scripts don't trip other Workflow scripts.

If you allow recursive calls to a script-driven trigger, it would be far too easy to go into not just an ordinary infinite loop, but an infinite recursion. That would be bad. That would be "don't cross the streams" bad.
