Rob, You can create a UDF to return the sequence, but you MUST use an order by, which seems to defeat the purpose. If you are interested, here is an example of a UDF that will return a sequence: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/iseries-toolkit/CVSROOT/src/qrpglesrc/numseq.irp?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup David Morris >>> rob@dekko.com 01/29/02 12:25PM >>> You cannot use an Order by in an Update statement therefore you can't UPDATE ROB/ALAN SET RANKING=0 ORDER BY BUCKS Then I can't think of any built in function which would return the number you desired. My question is this, what possible value is a ranking number when you can organize the file by any sort criteria you wish? Especially when you've already determined that the rank is based on another column. Rob Berendt
