Thanks for the reply Michael
As it happens - I finally worked out what I wanted
I sent a subsequent e-mail saying that I finally realized all of the mistakes that I had made
However - seeing your example gives me more confidence in what I eventually ended up with

 Alan, here's how I get row number's in several of my ACS SQL's .... from 1 of my BRMS SQL's:
This will get a unique row # for each record. Not sure that's what you want but it's worth having anyway.
Select Row_Number() over (Order by BKSSVT) as "Row #", SUBSTR(BKHSVT, 2, 6) AS "Bkup Date", BKVOL AS "Tape #", BKHSYS AS "System",
       BKHLIB AS "Lib", BKHSEQ AS "Seq#", BKHSAV AS "Obj Sv", BKHERR AS "Obj N Sv", BKHSTA AS "Sts 0=N 1=S",
       BKHSIZ AS "Blk Sz Bytes", BKHMSG AS "Error Msg ID", BKTYPS AS "Save Type", BKHGRP AS "Ctl Grp", BKHCMD AS "B/Up Cmd",
       BKSAVT AS "Tape Y/N", SUBSTR(BKSSVT, 8, 6) AS "Start Time", SUBSTR(BKESVT, 8, 6) AS "End Time", BKHTIM AS "Bkup Time",
       BKHTXT AS "Text"
    FROM QUSRBRM.QA1AHS
      GROUP BY BKHSVT, BKHPRC, BKHTIM, BKVOL, BKHSYS, BKHLIB, BKHSEQ, BKHSAV, BKHERR, BKHSTA,
                          BKHMSG, BKHSIZ, BKTYPS, BKHGRP, BKHCMD, BKSAVT, BKHPRC, BKSSVT, BKESVT, BKHTXT
Result looks something like this:
Row #            Bkup DateTape #   Lib                  Seq#   Obj Sv   Obj N Sv
1                    200924     01090B PDPDDB         372     119          0

Hi Birgitta
Sorry to bother you about this - but I am getting myself well and truly lost on this.
This is a snapshot of the data.

The columns CBCUST, CBINV#, CBCHK#, DATE_PAID, CBPAID, CBDISC are from my file INVXTRACT I am trying to generate the Row_Number for the CBCUST,CBINV combination
