Any significance to the number?

I had to do something similar a long time ago. RGZPFM to get rid of deleted
records and then just used the RRN as the value for my update.

How do you plan to maintain it going forward?

Subject: SQL: update column with a sequential #

Is it possible to update a column with a sequential # ?

So that for this particular column, each row has a value 1 higher than the
prior row?

Something like

UPDATE filename set SEQCOL to prior SEQCOL + 1

(This is a DDS created file that does NOT have an identity column.)

Thanks!
