I assume by function you mean a Delphi function.

If this is the case, then you can use a query and do


select GEN_ID(my_ib_generator,1) as the_generator_value from RDB$DATABASE


Also, I believe that there is a method you can call in later versions of
IBObjects that will do much the same thing, perhaps someone else on the list
will supply it.

Hi all...

I'm using generetors on table objects or query objects. But now I have
to use the generator in a function (Or a function that increment generator
and bring me the value) Have anyone any suggestion ...

PS: I try to select GEN_ID function but it doesnt works that I wanted
becouse I can call "any" generator at a time.

thanks
