Sequence Number Generator

The Sequence Number Generator is useful to derive unique names in a concurrent application environment. The functionality is based on a set of methods that operates towards a separate overwrite type of database. This is storing the uniquely named sequences and also details about the respective sequence. Name sequence elements and their attributes are protected from being handled manually. One way to operate with name sequences is through PML NameSeq objects.

A unique item in a sequence is made up by the name of the sequence followed by a running number, for example, TEST123, where TEST is the name of the sequence and 123 is the running number.
