I'm surprised to see most people suggesting a date & time stamp for the record key.
Isn't a sequential number the ideal? Which hashes better? I like Mr. Stevenson's suggestion of storing a next-available key in the file header. It could be configurable by file to be an integer, or some of the other suggestions, like a date*time*millisecond stamp, or date*time*sequential integer. Does the U2 User's Group make suggestions to IBM? -- Louie in Seattle ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
