Re: Displaying a counter in SQL

[Loyd Goodbar <loyd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If on V5R4+, you can use ROW_NUBMER() OVER() syntax. The OVER() contains
your sorting option.

select row_number() over(order by department), a.* from prod_mod/deptmap a

yields

ROW_NUMBER   DEPARTMENT  DEPARTMENT  PRODUCTION  FINANCIAL
             NUMBER      TYPE        DEPARTMENT  GROUPING
         1      129          M           Y            4
         2      130          M           Y            6
         3      131          M           Y            5
         4      162          M           Y            1
         5      171          M           Y            5
         6      172          M           Y            4
         7      176          M           Y            5
         8      178          M           Y            5
         9      179          M           Y            4
        10      182          M           Y            2
        11      183          M           Y            3
        12      184          M           Y            2
        13      217          A           Y            1
        14      218          A           Y            1
        15      222          M           Y            4
        16      228          A           Y            5
        17      229          A           Y            4
        18      230          A           Y            6
