record number in free record lookup

[Richard Kreiss]

Top post from phone:

To get the new record number after the lookup free add rn=new(@rn). This will be the new record number. 

Be careful about record numbers as Filepro will add new records to deleted records. So it is possible that a new record may be added which has a lower record number the the highest available record number in the file.
