Re: Looking for gaps in a key sequence

If you were on V5R4, it sounds like something recursive SQL could perform.
Given that you must compare one value in sequence to the next (or previous
depending on the algorithm) I don't know a quick way other than reading the
sequence in order. With the proper indexes, runtime should be blazing fast.
