in rpg record I/O I lock a control record, increment a control number, then
update the control record. Which reliably gives me a unique value.

C** GET NEXT SID NUMBER FROM WCMAST
C inwacd CHAIN WCREC
C EVAL WCNSID += 1
C UPDATE WCREC
/free
outSid = wcnsid ;
/end-free

Can I use SQL to do the same thing?

thanks,
