Unique ID

This System tool returns a string identifier which is unique over a relatively long period of time (a little over 31 years). The string returned is always composed of twelve decimal digits.  When this tool is first called, the identifier is seeded with the number of milliseconds since 1/1/1999 and its value is incremented by one on each successive call. 

The tool was developed for use by Interaction Director, but should also be useful as a unique key for database operations.
