ok. good. For some reason I was thinking the FETCH would not lock the
record. Which does not make sense.

so I just have to declare the cursor to select a single record from the
file. The FETCH locks it. The UPDATE releases the lock.

I think all you need to do is add the "for update of ... " clause. As I
recall, this forces the fetch to lock the current row, pending the "UPDATE
... WHERE CURRENT OF myCursor".

Subject: equivalent of lock and update in SQL

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,
