[p4] Getting the next valid changelist number

[Hirani, Mahendra]

Thank you for your responses, 

p4 counter change  then adding one    seems to be the best option for
me.

The reason I need the next changelist number is to ensure that for the
automatic merge script I plan to implement.
For a given client view that maybe has pending files in the default
changelist of that client, I would create a new empty changelist to
which my merge script would populate, thereby not contaminating the
merge process with files opened by other users OR even previously
crashed merge scripts using the default changelist.

Basically, a safeguard I would like to build into my merge script.

Thanks again,

Mahendra.

Hi
 
Is there a simple perforce command to get the next valid changelist
number, rather than writing a script to get the last changelist number
and increment it?
 
Thanks,
 
Mahendra.
