- Yes there is a command named "sequence number".
-
- Sequence number({file} ) -> number
- file - file for which to return the sequence number
-
- Sequence number returns a unique number every time it is called for a
- particular file. These numbers can be used as unique record identifiers. A
- sequence number is also returned when you use the #N symbol as a default value
- for a field in a layout.
-
- If file is not specified, the default file is used.
