RE: Trigger programme without a trigger.

From your reply, I assume that you would recommend that trigger program

should always handle commitment control and should NEVER execute any
task that can not run under commitment control.

Note: I couldn't quite agree with your statement on trigger should be
used as extender of RI only.

Since we can't predict future, should we say or should IBM recommends
never create trigger that execute task that cannot run under
commitment control?

Given that the trigger interface has a field indicating the state of
commitment control a sensible programmer WOULD write the trigger to
handle commitment control REGARDLESS of whether it is used by any job
altering the file.
