Using dual to simulate a table

I have a really old piece of (binary only) code that makes a call like
"select tstamp from tstamp where tstamp = 123456". I've always maintained a
table with a continuous sequence of numbers for this app but I would like to be able to stop doing this.

Isn't there a way I can create a view by the name tstamp that queries dual? or a sequence, somehow. The query always contains the desired answer.

This is on version 7 BTW.
