Specifying Sequential Line Numbers for New Records According to Maximum Values

The Sequence Use Max user property creates a sequence number for a new or copied record. It must specify one of the following values:

  • Y. Set the sequence number to the maximum existing sequence number plus 1.

  • N or this user property does not exist. Set the sequence number to the sequence number of the current record plus 1. Renumber other records, if necessary.

For example, the following table describes a configuration that defines the Line Number field as the sequence field and sets the sequence for any new or copied record to the value of the maximum existing sequence plus 1. For more information, see Specifying Sequential Line Numbers for New Records.
