Abstract
One or more processors initiate generation of an identifier based on the definitions of both a primary range and a secondary range. One or more processors obtain a unique sequence value from a unique sequence range of known maximum number of values. One or more processors calculate an offset value based on, at least in part, the primary range and the secondary range. One or more processors add the offset value to the unique sequence value to generate an identifier value.
