You could move this trigger logic to a PRE-COMMIT so that the value is set 
prior to saving your record.
 
if not blkPlan.isEmpty():

fields support a default="ROM" value in the gfd.  There is also a default 
value for queries.

I'll try to look into this soon.  However a better (IMHO) way of doing this is 
via a .netrc file in your home directory.

machine 'gnue://gnueDatasourceName/'
login 'myUserName'
password 'MyPassword'

Using netrc files prevents the username/password from being visible via ps aux 
(on *nix boxes).  It's also very handy for running gnue-common based scripts 
or gnue-reports from a crontab.

If you need more help please let me know.

Take Care,
