Actually, in some cases, even that is potentially useful: if the trigger 
ends with LR set, then the lock on the trigger program itself goes away 
as soon as the triggered file is closed.

However, in the strategy we've chosen to adopt, any explicit file 
closings, and any SETON LR, would happen only if a flag (probably in a 
*DTAARA) is set. We already employ a similar strategy for turning 
"logging" functions on and off.
