Use the Program Status Data Structure.  There is a field *PARMS.   It tells
you how many parms were passed.
If it is equal to 0,  It was called with out parms(and BTW, don't reference
them in the program in that case.)

If it is 2,  then it was called via the Trigger.

Having said that.   I think it should be two different programs (the guts of
what it does, )
One called from a small "Stub" which is the trigger,  and by your other
application.
