If you need to put in a data queue the value of the new record, a trigger may be you best option.

you can also retrieve the last value with a SQL function.

I am looking at using an identity column as the primary key for one of the tables in a new process. When a record is added to the table using RPG I need to pass the identity column value off to another program via a data queue. My question is how do I know what value was assigned to the identity column for the added record?

I searched the archives and found references to the VALUES statement but the documentation says it can only be used in a trigger. Am I missing something?
