Hi,

I am writing a forms processor that processes ABF forms before compiling the
executable.  On Ingres 5, we had a processor which crunched the 'XXfo.c' form
file, which is the C version of the form.  For Ingres 6, I noticed that when
a form is saved using 'vifred' from ABF, a file named '10039.c' is created
instead.  What I would like to know is:

	"Where does the number 10039 come from?"

I looked in all the obvious system catalogs, but I couldn't find the number
anywhere.

The reason that I want to know is that I want to make sure that the name is
not database dependent.  In other words, if I try to compile the ABF source
using a different database, and the same '10039.c' form, will there be any
problems like sequence #'s, etc.
