Ryan,

You're looking for the IDENTITY_VAL_LOCAL function.

Note: it returns the last identity value assigned _in_the_job_ calling
the function.

So if you have multiple jobs running, and one calls IDENTITY_VAL_LOCAL,
it gets the last identity assigned in that job.  It doesn't matter what
identities were assigned in the other jobs.

HTH,


Charles Wilt

Subject: Retrieving Last Inserted IDENTITY value

Is there a DB2/400 function to retrieve the last IDENTITY
value inserted
into a table?   For MS SQL there is the SCOPE_IDENTITY()
function that will
show the last identity value inserted into any table within
the scope of the
current batch.

Is there anything like that for AS400?  I am trying to avoid a select
MAX(ID) - which is resource intensive and may return
something inserted
right after me.
