Actually the record ID is three bytes unsigned: 0xffffff is the largest
record ID, decimal 16777215. You probably have some space for adding new
ones... All applications I have seen just peek at the largest ID and add
on top of that number.

If the database has a valid AppInfo block this already holds the largest
used ID: $appinfo->{lastUniqueID}.
