If you want to get session-id, you need to write a shell script, which stores its session-id in variable and then runs 4GL program, which loads value of this variable using function FGL_GETENV(). When you want to run 4GL program, you just run that shell script. It should look like this: SESID=$$ export SESID fglgo program.4gi An another way of getting unique id is to use a table vith serial. When you need unique id, you insert one row to table, get serial number and then delete this row.
