So it seems that I will have to write a program that inserts the value! I am not a Cobol, RPG or C programmer, but i know a bit of VB...!! Does anyone have a suggestion for a book that would get me into Cobol programming quickly. This would be more usefull to me as I could apply the knowledge to Mainframes,that I also currently use with SAS alone. (I do a bit of SAS as well!)
Cheers for all the suggestions.

NB. Using a Date/Time stamp won't work as I am trying to perform a join of
the form: a.number = b.number + 1. If you reed my original message you will
realise that i allready have a incrementing unique date/time value. I must
admit the original posting was a bit long.
