Re: Newbie: Stored Proc Help/Debugging Needed

GP, thanks.

The DB itself is 20 years old, I'd love to add a Sequence but the problem is an app uses the NEXT_NUMBER_GEN table as a repository for the..you guessed it, NEXT_NUMBER. An app programatically does what I'm trying to get the SP to do so I need to ref that table. You've givem me a lot of help though, thanks.

Cheers,
Jim
