Do you understand that you can call the Gen_ID() method to "up" the
generator value by any number, i.e. Gen_ID(MyGenerator, 3) will push the
generator up by three and return you a number that is the last generated
number + 3. (The numbers between will be "lost", of course).

What task did you have in mind that makes you ask for this?
