RE: "Reference #"

Perhaps I am forgetting the application.

If Job ######/user/jobname adds two records in the same second...

Why ? Job number probably would be not problem until - they roll over. A
batch number would be different from an interactive user and an 
interactive
user in 2 sessions would be 2 job #'s...

And if your job is batch (or you have one amazing keypuncher and machine, 
probably not your burdened 620) jobnumber, date and hhmmss might not be 
enough.  Or what may works today, may become obsolete when you upgrade.

Yep, I ran the program from two different sessions. Had what needed to be
keyed in ready on both sessions and hit Enter on one and FLEW to the other
session and hit Enter. Looked and the file and about died - EXACT same 
time.
Then I remembered I had entered Job # :-)

Having job number is a good discriminator.  I've been burnt by just
date/time.  Even with few users, it's possible to have two transactions
return the same clock time.
