Description

The Reference manual (applies to all the releases) says following for REFERENCEDCOLUMNS in SYSTRIGGERS system table
"descriptor of the columns referenced by UPDATE triggers".

This is confusing because it does not indicate whether the columns referenced by the triggering statement or the columns referenced by the trigger action. My suggestion is as follows but please feel free to reword it if required.
"descriptor of columns on which UPDATE trigger has been defined"
