We are using jbase 3.4 but will upgrade soon.

I would like to create a unique record id for a heavily used file
without the need to read a number off a stack, lock it and increment
it before writing away.

I was thinking of using PORT_DATE()_TIME() but as the user may write
to this file many times within a routine TIME() SYSTEM(12) or SYSTEM
(1007) do not carry sufficient precision.

I tested this by :-

 FOR X=1 TO 500
 CRT PORT:" ":DATE():" ":TIME():" ":SYSTEM(9):" ":SYSTEM(12):" ":SYSTEM
(1007):"  ":SYSTEM(2001)
 NEXT X


Any ideas?

Also, what does SYSTEM(2001) carry?
