Mike,
In your ALTER Column statement you used RESET WITH 1. Try RESTART = 1.

Hi Kurt,
I am moving the data from test to production.
I tried creating a backup and recreating my file and copying back to it,
but that didn't work.
I did get it to work by removing the identity column and re adding it,
but I think that only worked because it was really just 1 file and
nothing else touching it.

Why don't you create a new file in production? Do you need to move data
to production as well? If so, I'm also new to Identity columns (just
put in two files with them for the first time). Can you copy the old
file to the new and it knows to not copy the identity columns and
instead starts setting the identity based at your starting number as
defined in the table?

Subject: reset auto increment field.
I have a file that I have an auto increment field in. Currently the
file is in development and I would like to clean up the auto incremented
field before it goes to production.
I know its not absolutely necessary, but I'd like to anyway.
I have tried the following "alter table mytable alter column tiid reset
with 1"
I get a message that the alter completed, but I don't see any difference
in the tiid column.
What am I doing wrong with this statement?
Is this there another way to do this?
I'm on V6R1.
Thanks
Mike
