Code:
printf "%04d\n"  $(( $(ls -1rt KSAD9*|tail -1 | sed 's/KSAD9*//; q; ') + 1 ))

Result:0000

---------- Post updated at 02:19 PM ---------- Previous update was at 02:18 PM ----------

it worked for my received file name as KSAD9999

and result is :0000

---------- Post updated at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous update was at 02:19 PM ----------

However I can parse the seq number but If I receive the like KSAD1000
Then I can get 1001 is the next_seq_number.

BUT My actual received files as like KSAD0042 Then I can not get as my next_seq_number is:0043

that is mu problem
