What would be the easiest (and maybe fastest, too) method to find out
the lowest unused primary key in a file? Another question might be the
fastest method to find any unused primary key in a file, but as I think
the answers should be almost the same.
What I'm doing at the moment is just CHAINing through the file,
incrementing the search factor (Factor1) all the time, waiting for the
error indicator to turn on. I'm not feeling like this is how it should
be done, so any ideas would be greatly appreciated...
Kind regards, Juris.
