I goofed on qtemp/t1, it should have said myFile (or whatever your real file
name is).
PARTITION is an SQL keyword. In the context of ROW_NUMBER function
(available with V5R4) you can think of it as a GROUP BY equivalent.

Thanks Elvis,
2 questions.
Does qtemp/t1 have to exist? I get a T1 in qtemp not found.

Also, what is PARTITION? Is this a keyword? I couldn't find it in my
sql book. If not what is PARTITION
