Trigger question

 >> FileA has a trigger program(RPG) that modifies the buffer contents with
a unique sequence number.

 >> I would like to have this number available to the calling program.

I would tend to go with the User Space option (using maybe the job number to
name the space?) as being the most efficient.  Using pointers it is as fast
to access as any passed parm and both the trigger program and the program
that caused the trigger would have easy access to it.  After the initial
call (and resolving the pointer) it becomes just another variable - why
_not_ use it?
