I need to generate a timebased sequential key which is independent of
daylight savings time, so that I can consistently know in what order
transactions took place even when they occur over the daylight saving
time changes.

I have found the following in the help system about the BASIC SYSTEM(99)
function:

        Returns the system time in the number  of  seconds
        since  midnight Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), January
        1, 1970.

And initially thought I could use this function, but after some testing
are having doubts. Has anyone else done something similar to this?

Cheers,
