Re: duplicate record Id's in multi user environment

Consider using a random number generator to generate numbers.  The chances 
of 10 people picking a same number are remote.   A second choice might be 
to send the new record onto a data queue and have a single-purpose program 
that sits there waiting for records off the queue, adding an ID#, and 
doing the actual record creation.

        Subject:        duplicate record Id's in multi user environment


Hello,

What would be the best way to assign unique record Id's in a multi user
environment? Since, we have about ten users who add records to same file
almost at same time. Chances are high that more than one user try to add a 

record at same time. The file should only have unique record Id's.

Our users access this file through a client server application
(power builder). The client server application calls a stored procedure
written in SQLRPGLE to add the records to file.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Ray
