Re: Stored Procedure (or SQL) to get a value then update it to +1

Vern,

I believe that Mike needed to update this value from "an external
application" (his words). So I suppose that means something like a VB
program accessing the data thru ODBC or such. In this case, a Stored
Procedure (or a function) would be the best option and it is easier (IMHO)
to write one in "pure" SQL than having to write one that calls a RPG
program.

Regards,
