RE:

["Wilt, Charles" <WiltC@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually Rob, I take that back...

Re-reading the OP, it seems 1-10 is what he's interested in. 

But then he talks about finding the missing numbers in a given range....

In that case, depending on the size of the range, you're solution might work (but it's 6.1 only
right?).  Or a modified version of Michael's....

Exec sql
Select  min(a.field+1) from file a
where not exists(select '1' from file b where a.field+1 = b.field)
  and a.field between :rangeStart  and :rangeEnd 

Note you'd still need something extra in case the starting value, ie 1 was missing.
