Note that this requires V5R2 because of the identity column but you should be 
able to put your distinctified version into a temp table and use the RRN 
function to get the relative record number which should be the same thing in 
this case. This would change the final SQL to:

SELECT ' ', RRN(QTEMP.TEMPFILE), FIELD1 FROM QTEMP.TEMPFILE

Rob, 

I think this will do what you want, I was unable to figure out how to do it in 
one statement.

CREATE TABLE QTEMP.TEMPFILE (ID  INTEGER GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY , 
                              FIELD1 CHAR(10)  NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT)
                                                 
INSERT INTO QTEMP.TEMPFILE (FIELD1) SELECT DISTINCT(FIELD1) FROM 
SOMELIB.SOMEFILE 

SELECT ' ', ID, FIELD1 FROM QTEMP.TEMPFILE
UNION
SELECT 'Total', COUNT(ID) AS ID, ' ' FROM QTEMP.TEMPFILE
ORDER BY ID

Chris Beck

Matt, The select count gives you a total. What I need is the details and the 
totals on the same output.

1. ABC
2. DEF

Total 2

My main Select is a Select Distinct so I can remove the dups.
Thank you,
