I'd like to do a simple trigger program.  What I'd really like to do is to
fill in a "timestamp" and a "updated by" field on a record anytime it is
created or changed, regardless of where it is done.  The physical file is
in arrrival sequence and unindexed.   It seemed simple enough  - a
ADDPFTRG after *UPDATE with a simple program that moved the SDS's User
field, and a TIME command into the correct fields, and update. 

That was where I realized I was in trouble...  how do I find the relative
record number that was just processed so I can easily find the correct
record?  Or is that the wrong approach altogether?
