    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;How about using the&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="http://go.documentation.sas.com/?cdcId=pgmmvacdc&amp;amp;cdcVersion=9.4&amp;amp;docsetId=lefunctionsref&amp;amp;docsetTarget=n0y09yghr5r11cn1b4ocojwqvrqe.htm&amp;amp;locale=en" target="_blank"&gt;UUIDGEN()&lt;/A&gt; function. This will ensure, that you lways get a unique id.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <title>unique sequence generator</title>
      <link>https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/unique-sequence-generator/m-p/347243#M80168</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello All,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I have a column( Alert_Key) which needs to be populated as a sequence generator .The detail requirement is below.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;1) If a key is generated then it should not be generated again.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;2) Jobs are running parallel and each job will load key into the alert_key column.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;3) Before loading the key ,it needs to checked if the key is there ,if so it should generate a unique key.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Many Thanks In Advance,&lt;/P&gt;
