Does the output parameter have to have the same name of the dataset's field
(suposing I modify some fields at server side)?

I supose you cannot use the returning_values clause at EditSQL,
InsertSQL,,,,etc ?

OK. I followed your advice and I had to change the identifier generation to
the client side, and put at server side only the insert/update sql
sentences. Everything is fine know :)

Where's gen_id function? I had to use a 'select gen_id(x,y) from
rdb$database' (dual).
