The PICK TO worked fine. All things considered I think I'd like to leave it this way. If I end up in trouble in the future due to some dispatcher behavior change, I'll consider redoing it along the lines Christian suggested (which seems a much more pipethink-oriented solution than my clumsy attempt to retry the lookup). Thanks all. This will do for now. -- bc
