RE: Proper way to do some file operations with SQL

PM:
1) I'm generating a credit memo and need to use the next available
credit memo number. With RLA, one CHAINs to the control file, adds
1 to the last credit memo number used, updates the control record,
then uses the number you just got. No one else can get this control
record until you release it so there are no duplicates. What's the
proper way in SQL?


SQL has a sequence object that you can create in place of your
next number file.
