R: IDENTITY_VAL_LOCAL() and multiple insert. -- RPG400-L

Thanks Birgitta, I'll work on your example that looks like the example below taken from the SQL reference:

Example 8: Specify an INSERT statement as the data-change-table-reference within a SELECT statement.
Define an extra include column whose values are specified in the VALUES clause, which is then used as an
ordering column for the inserted rows.

SELECT inorder, ordernum
FROM FINAL TABLE (INSERT INTO ORDERS (CUSTNO)
INCLUDE(INSERTNUM INTEGER)
VALUES (:cnum1, 1),
(:cnum2, 2)) InsertedOrders
ORDER BY insertnum

[MSG EXT]

You have to put the INSERT into the from CLAUSE of a SELECT-Statement.
Something like this:

Select YourId
From Final Table( Insert YourTable (Col1, Col2, ... ColN)
Select XCol1, XCol2, ... xColN
From AnoutherTable
....) Order By Input Sequence

The SELECT statement itself can be embedded in a Cursor, so you can loop through the Idies.

Subject: IDENTITY_VAL_LOCAL() and multiple insert.

I often use IDENTITY_VAL_LOCAL() to get the identity of the row just
inserted: it works.
How can I get all the identities after a multiple insert?
