Help with Triggers

I am currently a student at a University in a SQL class with an assignment that has been very difficult in doing.

What I am assigned to do is create in essence two triggers. The first trigger is for Insert and is to set a particular column, CTL_REC_STAT, to 'A' and another column, CTL_INS_DTTM, to the current Date/Time.

The second trigger is for Update and is to set a the column CTL_REC_STAT to 'U' and CTL_UPD_DTTM to the current Date/Time whenever a record is updated.

The problem I am running into is that I currently use Update in my Insert trigger and as soon as the trigger executes the Update command it causes my Update trigger to execute. So even if I am Inserting something into the database the Update trigger executes and sets the CTL_REC_STAT to 'U' when it should be 'A'.

What do I need to do change to fix this issue.

This is my code:

CREATE TRIGGER [cis48315].[ONINSERT]
ON [cis48315].[APPLICATION_USERS]

FOR INSERT
AS

BEGIN

UPDATE APPLICATION_USERS
SET CTL_REC_STAT = 'A'
WHERE APP_USER_ID = APP_USER_ID

END

BEGIN

UPDATE APPLICATION_USERS
SET CTL_INS_DTTM = GETDATE()
WHERE APP_USER_ID = APP_USER_ID

END

and

CREATE TRIGGER [cis48315].[ONUPDATE]
ON [cis48315].[APPLICATION_USERS]

FOR UPDATE
AS

BEGIN

UPDATE APPLICATION_USERS
SET CTL_REC_STAT = 'U'
WHERE APP_USER_ID = APP_USER_ID

END

BEGIN

UPDATE APPLICATION_USERS
SET CTL_UPD_DTTM = GETDATE()
WHERE APP_USER_ID = APP_USER_ID

END

Thanks for the help.

Just a little bump for some help
