gen_id(Doc_ID,1) returns the next unique identifier for the file.  If you
call this function you will know what value needs to go into the primary key
field before you add the record.  You will need a prop:SQL which has a LONG
(or string, I suppose) as the datatype in the first field.

eg.

DummyLong{Prop:SQL} = 'CALL gen_id(Doc_ID,1)'
NEXT(DummyLong)

MyFile:PrimaryKeyField = DumL:DummyLong
! Prime other field values
ADD(MyFile)
