I have had the same thing with a trigger program writing to a data queue,
Same Timestamp.  10's of them.  In my trigger program,  I created a
"Unique" number by adding to the 6 position MS portion of the time stamp,
Like the following

C                   TIME                    RVMTMSP
C                   ADD       1             U
C                   ADDDUR    U:*MS         RVMTMSP

In this case "U" is just a 6 position numeric field.  I now have Unique
timestamps
