Hi Guys,

I need to do something simple. Consider the following 2 records:

ITEM_NO|VENDOR|UM|SEQ
1|A|BX|1
1|A| |2

I need to set the UM field for all records that have SEQ = 2 the same as where SEQ = 1. Therefore, in this particular example UM will = BX for the second record.

Are there more conditions?
Same ITEM_NO or something else?

No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die.

Hey webfred,

It is actually the same ITEM_NO. Let me expand on the example with a few more records for clarity:

ITEM_NO|VENDOR|UM|SEQ
1|A|BX|1
1|A| |2
2|D|CT|1
2|D| |2
3|B|KG|1
3|B| |2
4|C|DR|1
4|C| |2

Thanks in advanced for your help!
