In looking further I found this on BMC site: It seems the nextFieldID field is in the arschema table but serves no purpose. I think it would be great if it was used as a source of the field ID's added.
Knowledge Article ID: KA331759 Version: 1.0 Status: Published Published date: 01/20/2011 ..... It is also important to mention that while there is a column called nextfieldid in arschema, and it is updated, it is not used to determine the next fieldid. This column may be used in future but is not utilized at this time.
