This is using GetRecID via direct access to the baseobject rather than
accessing the RecID via a cursor.

Direct baseobject manipulation has been depreciated as Valentina has
matured. For a number of reasons, you'll be happier if you access records
via a cursor whenever possible in V4RB.

As you move through the baseobject records, it will return the RecID of the
record currently being pointed to.
