Thank you all for all the responses. I was hoping that somewhere within the operating system's scheduling mechanism there is something like a timeslice serial number which could be read with some system function. No 2 processes could ever return the same timeslice serial number

Since we're talking OOB (out of box) why not try the user semaphore locking that is built into the system. Check the BASIC LOCK and UNLOCK , and LIST.LOCKS in tcl. Your process cant write until it can lock. It writes, then unlocks. and so on. j On 4/25/08, Marco Manyevere [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

I believe we use a large pseudo random number as the key and put the time/date stamp in a log file. Your keys won't have the information in them about the sequence (although some may find that a better solution - let's not go there); however, a simply join/translate will get that for you. You can
