Obtaining the "last" record in a group via SQL

Hi everyone
Before I forget - we are on V5r4 - soon to upgrade (to at least V7r1 - yaaaaaay)

Here is my question
II am looking at 2 files
The first file contains 2 fields
Customer number
Data from the last order placed by that customer number
So for this first file - customer number is unique

A logical (by customer number) of orders placed
So for the second file - there can be 1 to many records per customer number

My question is :-
Is there an "EASY" way via sql to get the LAST record for the individual customer number
Please note that "EASY" is stressed, upper case, underlined , bold

I will probably need to create a program - but just wondered if anyone had any procedures/proceses/tricks to get that last record from a group

As always - all answers welcome with gratitude
