[cciug] How do I retrieve the values from ClearCase variables

Please can some one advice me.

We are at the very early stages of using ClearCase for the first time having
previously worked in an SCCS environment. I understand that there are quite a
number of ClearCase variables available during the execution of a trigger, and I
have been using these during the Checkin process to try and populate our source
code with a ClearCase header, showing version details, file name etc., the
trouble is we are now working with Oracle forms 6 and the files are binary, and
as soon as I try to do anything to them they are corrupted (working with
converted text files is not an option) .

The only thing I can think to do is try to retrieve the ClearCase variables
outside of firing a trigger, so that I can create the ClearCase header while we
are still developing the forms.

So my question is ( and I hope its not a stupid one, ignorance is my only
defense) can I retrieve the values from the ClearCase variables outside of a
trigger firing? if so where are they held?
