Read data changed by *BEFORE *INSERT trigger

I have an RPG trigger attached to a physical file and an RPG data entry application. When a new record is created by the data entry application a *BEFORE *INSERT trigger is called to get the new id field value for the record (I'm on V4R5 so I can't use a sequence or identity column). I'd like to be able to read back the record I just wrote (I use WRITE(E) to write it) in order to be able to display the newly created record including the generated id column value. I've tried using READ, READP, and SETGT in various combinations, but I can't seem to get it to work. I also can't find any documentation regarding where the WRITE operation leaves the file position. This is a full-procedural file enabled for reads, adds, and updates. 

Thanks,

Kyle Goodwin
