Rob:

RTFA (Read The Fine Article)... it's in there.

When you use the "NEXT VALUE FOR sequence-Name" clause in an SQL statement, the value is incremented (e,g, inserting into ORDHDR). To refer to the same value previously generated, you use the "PREVIOUS VALUE FOR sequence-Name"" (e.g. when inserting into ORDDTL).

You have control over when the value is incremented, because you may want to use the same value as the "key" for example for in ORDHDR and ORDDTL "parent-child" set of tables.

Can you dig it?

HTH,

Mark S. Waterbury

And how does that automatically increment upon an insert?
