Pull info from datapool, increment a value and store the datapool

The application I test has some areas where it requires unique data. Specifically, the application will generate a request number that can only be used once. After my test runs I must manually update my datapool reference for this number. Is there any way using java, that I can get the information stored in my datapool, increase the value by one, and then save the data back to the datapool. This way I can keep rft in sync with my application in regard to this number.

Here is an example how to read a value from the datapool, increment it by 1, and save it back to the datapool. It is an adapted example from the book Software Test Engineering with IBM Rational Functional Tester. The original source code is from chapter 5 (and can be downloaded from the book's homepage).

// some imports
import org.eclipse.hyades.edit.datapool.IDatapoolCell;
import org.eclipse.hyades.edit.datapool.IDatapoolEquivalenceClass;
import org.eclipse.hyades.execution.runtime.datapool.IDatapool;
import org.eclipse.hyades.execution.runtime.datapool.IDatapoolRecord;

int value = dpInt("value");
value++;
java.io.File dpFile = new java.io.File((String) getOption(IOptionName.DATASTORE), "SomeDatapool.rftdp");
IDatapool dp = dpFactory().load(dpFile, true);
IDatapoolEquivalenceClass equivalenceClass = (IDatapoolEquivalenceClass) dp.getEquivalenceClass(dp
        .getDefaultEquivalenceClassIndex());
IDatapoolRecord record = equivalenceClass.getRecord(0);
IDatapoolCell cell = (IDatapoolCell) record.getCell(0);
cell.setCellValue(value);
DatapoolFactory factory = DatapoolFactory.get();
factory.save((org.eclipse.hyades.edit.datapool.IDatapool) dp);

I think it is quite a lot of code to simply change one value—maybe it is easier to use some other method like writing the value to a normal text file.
