I have solved a similar problem using the PARTITION BY functions in V5R4, but would be interested in the code for your UDF also.


Thanks,

Rick -
I have a UDF program that will do this for you.  I'll forward a copy to you
with instructions on how to create the UDF...

Hey all,  can this be done with sql?

insert from one file into another -

"from" file has duplicates for order#, no line.
"to" file keyed by order# / line

I want to auto generate the line number in the "to" file, incrementing
by one for each group of orders, resetting on a change in order
numbers.

I looked at NEXT VALUE using sequence objects, but that doesn't seem
to allow the reset on order number breaks.

Thanks in advance,

Rick
