Trigger Buffer V4R5 -- RPG400-L

I'm somewhat new to RPG and AS/400 programming in general, and I'mattempting to write a trigger program in RPG ILE with embedded SQL.I've been digging through the archives and found lots of info aboutthe trigger buffer data structure. First I mistakenly tried to usethe new version (with I type members) before realizing that thestructure was changed in V5R1. My trigger should be *INSERT and*BEFORE on my CUSTOMERS file and the functionality I'm trying toaccomplish is to find the maximum value in the CUSTID column or 0 ifthere are none, add 1 to it, and use this value as the CUSTID for theinsert. CUSTID is the physical file's key and it is defined asUNIQUE. Below is my code to accomplish this task, I can't seem tofigure out why it does not do what it is supposed to do. (It givesme a duplicate key error when I attempt to insert, so I assume thatit is not modifying the value properly. I have attached the triggerusing the ADDPFTRG command.) Sorry for the long message.
