recursive update trigger is not working properly - mysql

Question

I have created 2 tables abc and xyz. Both table are having the same data as shown below.
Table abc:
+------+-------+--------+
| roll | name | status |
+------+-------+--------+
| 1 | john | I |
| 1 | ken | I |
| 1 | abel | I |
| 2 | aston | I |
| 2 | ron | I |
+------+-------+--------+
Table xyz:
+-------+-------+---------+
| roll1 | name1 | status1 |
+-------+-------+---------+
| 1 | john | I |
| 1 | ken | I |
| 1 | abel | I |
| 2 | aston | I |
| 2 | ron | I |
+-------+-------+---------+
The status in both tables can be updated to 'D' or 'E'. Suppose in table abc, if the status of John become 'D' then I need to take John's roll (that is 1) and update all the status in xyz to 'D' where roll1 = 1.
Similarly, suppose if the status of ron changed to 'E' in xyz table, then aston and ron status should be 'E' in table abc.
This need to be achieved using update triggers. I have created 2 update trigger for both the tables. The trigger used are
DELIMITER $$
DROP TRIGGER /*!50032 IF EXISTS */ `test2`.`abc_trigg`$$
create trigger `test2`.`abc_trigg` BEFORE UPDATE on `test2`.`abc`
for each row BEGIN
IF #__disable_trigger is null THEN
SET #__disable_trigger = 1;
if new.status = 'D' then
update xyz set status1='D' where roll1 = new.roll;
elseif new.status = 'E' then
update xyz set status1='E' where roll1 = new.roll;
end if;
end if;
end;
$$
DELIMITER ;
DELIMITER $$
DROP TRIGGER /*!50032 IF EXISTS */ `test2`.`xyz_trigg`$$
create trigger `test2`.`xyz_trigg` BEFORE UPDATE on `test2`.`xyz`
for each row BEGIN
IF #__disable_trigger is null THEN
SET #__disable_trigger = 1;
if new.status1 = 'D' then
update abc set status='D' where roll = new.roll1;
elseif new.status1 = 'E' then
update abc set status='E' where roll = new.roll1;
end if;
end if;
end;
$$
DELIMITER ;
But these triggers are not correct and I am not getting the expected output. Kindly guide me to fix the issue and help me to get the relevant output?
