I agree: you are confused.
What kind of 'automatic number generation' are you talking about?
Should the numbers be unique?
Should they be ordered, or, maybe, sequential?
If you need to combine 'alphabets and current date' then you probably have to generate (possibly unique) identifiers, i.e. strings not numbers.
Why don't you just use an available tool for generating unique id, like for instance guidgen[^]?

You should produce complete code. We may just help you a bit.
Generating a sequence of numbers is pretty straightforward (a counter is enough). If you need the application remembering the last generated number then you should add persistence to it, see, for instance
