I adopted your suggested methodology to write a workfile in data library which
has a primary key of job number. You had also suggested that if more than one
job was to be submitted from the same interactive session for this process,
then another unique identifier other than the job number, would be essential.
I need to know which will be the other best unique identifier.

Please advise, your suggestions have helped me see brighter days :-).



Thanks & Regards,
