Triggers 101

I am attempting to get our triggers under control and have run into what
I *think* is a problem. It has to do with record locks, and the
discussion we had recently which also included a record lock discussion,
didn't seem to answer my question.

We have an order entry program that updates/adds to file OETITLP. This
program ALSO updates a file OESECTP. OETITLP has a trigger attached that
ALSO updates OESECTP. I believe this is causing a lock issue when the
trigger attempts to update the SAME record in OESECTP that is updated by
the program.

It seems to be that a trigger should not be updating a file that is
being updated by a program that triggers the trigger. Or, maybe, the
trigger needs to be smarter and not run when the trigger is triggered by
said program.

Is there a SOP for this?

Thank you,

Dave
