Basically the 9 chars Id is retunred and uses almost all char in the ascii set starts from chr(33) skipping quotes (single and duoble) and a few other character that may clash but then goes on to CHR(254) skip the null char(255).

Where would my string compare fail?

Ive tried == and that too didnt work

Thanks for your interest

>>Yes the function has the tendency to return same value on fast machines as the code is executed in the same milisecond (it is somthing similar to what one of the FP function has for unique value). The reason for putting this loop is that when ever a same value is returned the loop should execute again to get another and so on till a different id is returned
