Oracle error

Hi

I'm spooling data to a file and using a sequence number generator to number each record and I get an ORA-02287 error. When I look up the error, it tells me this:

ERROR at line 17:
ORA-02287: sequence number not allowed here

Here's my SQL:

CREATE SEQUENCE ESEQ START WITH 1  

COLUMN FACULTY                FORMAT A30
COLUMN DEPARTMENT             FORMAT A30
COLUMN COURSE                 FORMAT A30
COLUMN SECTION                FORMAT A30

Help! Any ideas? Thanks in advance...
