creating TRIGGER as follows

C:\testproject>db2 "create trigger testt after insert on db2admin.testproc referencing NEW as x for each row mode db2sql insert into testproc values (999);"
DB20000I The SQL command completed successfully.

testing TRIGGER as follows

C:\testproject>db2 "insert into testproc values (11)"
DB21034E The command was processed as an SQL statement because it was not avalid Command Line Processor command. During SQL processing it returned:
SQL0723N An error occurred in a triggered SQL statement in trigger
"DB2ADMIN.TESTT". Information returned for the error includes SQLCODE "-724",SQLSTATE "54038" and message tokens
"DB2ADMIN.TESTT". SQLSTATE=09000


Nothing in the diag file. What am I doing wrong?

Your insert calls a trigger which in turn inserts into the same table and hence there is a cascade of triggers ...

SQL0724N The activation of trigger "<trigger-name>" would exceed
the maximum level of cascading.

Explanation: Cascading of triggers occurs when a triggered SQL
statement in a trigger would result in another trigger being
activated or when a referential constraint delete rule causes
additional triggers to be activated. The depth of this cascading
is limited to 16.

Note that recursive situations where a trigger includes a
triggered SQL statement that directly or indirectly causes the
same trigger to be activated is a form of cascading that is very
likely to cause this error if there are no conditions to prevent
cascading from exceeding the limit.

The "<trigger-name>" specified is one of the triggers that would
have been activated at the seventeenth level of cascading.

User Response: Start with the triggers that are activated by the
UPDATE, INSERT or DELETE statement that received this error. If
any of these triggers are recursive, ensure that there is some
condition that prevents the trigger from being activated more
than the limit allows. If this is not the cause of the problem,
follow the chain of triggers that are activated to determine the
chain that exceeds the cascading limit.

sqlcode: -724

sqlstate: 54038

That was it. Thanks. But what I really want to do is, let the orginal value go in and also insert another statement into the same table.

So I tried using no cascade but it compains no cascade only works with BEFORE triggers.

Thank
