I have a similar problem and I don't know if there is a practical solution.

I am trying to work out how to return data/messages from a trigger
program in a multithreaded environment (Java). The trigger program (RPG)
will need to be 'synchronized' to ensure it is thread safe, but, how is
information from the trigger returned to the correct thread in the
correct job??

Not an ideal environment for triggers, I suspect!

Any ideas are welcome.

Many thanks.
