    IBM believes that Db2 for i already supports async mode within database triggers. It is up to the author of the trigger to determine when this type of solution is appropriate.

    Two examples of how to implement async mode are:
    1) The trigger program uses CALL QSYS2.QCMDEXC(?QSYS/SBMJOB ??); to start a batch job. The CL command in the batch job can be RUNSQL or RUNSQLSTM. In such cases it is sometimes easiest to use an SQL procedure to contain the async logic, and use the CALL (SQL) statement within the batch job.
    2) The trigger program initiates the async processing by sending data to a data queue. A separate job receives the packet and implements the async steps.
