Yes there is a command named "sequence number".

Sequence number({file} ) -> number
file - file for which to return the sequence number

Sequence number returns a unique number every time it is called for a
particular file.  These numbers can be used as unique record identifiers.  A
sequence number is also returned when you use the #N symbol as a default value
for a field in a layout.

If file is not specified, the default file is used.
