Below are some not so traditional-RPG-programmer friendly things about
trigger (They are not problem, just stuffs that traditional RPG
programmer are not familiar with):

1) Commitment control issue. Programmer that creates trigger program
tends to not consider commitment control. If the file is under
commitment control and trigger is not, roll back will not rollback what
trigger has done. Well, depending on what the trigger is doing, this
might not be an easy fix.

Our trigger programs check to see if the action happened with or without trigger control and open and
files they are writing too with or without commitment control as required.
