As far as I know there is NO FrameMaker system variable named Rev#.  Won't
the Modification Date do?  Alternatively, you might try:

@    Storing your files in Microsoft or CodeWarrior Visual SourceSafe and
checking them in each time you update them and require an incremented
revision number.
@    Creating a Rev# user-defined variable and writing a FrameScript event
script that automatically increments Rev# just before FrameMaker saves the
file -- see <http://www.framescript.com/>.

Hedley
