This is not multi-user safe, since you have no way of knowing whether it
was your client which took that number or another client.

If you want to retrieve the new id back to your client, you must generate
the number BEFORE you perform the insert; and you should alter your
triggers to be BEFORE insert and make them
..
if (new.id1 is null) then
new.id1 = gen_id (gen1, 1);

Your client app can get the new generator number using a query like

select gen_id(gen1, 1) from rdb$database

Some client development tools provide functions that do this for you.

Generator-number generation is outside of transaction control; and, once
generated, a number cannot be generated again (unless you do something
stoopid like "SET GENERATOR gen1 TO 1").
