statement worked as is for me. using a different file of course. and a
field that was smaller.

I would rule out each thing as being the issue.

First.
Select row_number() over() from mdcmdct

Next
Select row_number() over() from mdcmdct
where translate(left(amtxt,65),'+','0123456789','+')
like '%+++++++++%'

Last.
select row_number() over(),
substr(left(amtxt,65),locate('+++++++++',
translate(left(amtxt,65),'+','0123456789','+')),10),
amtxt,translate(left(amtxt,65),'+','0123456789','+')

from mdcmdct
where translate(left(amtxt,65),'+','0123456789','+')
like '%+++++++++%'

Hopefully that will lead you to the right thing that's not working.

FYI row_number() over() wasn't introduced until V5R4 I believe. What
version are you on?

You need something in the over(). Something in the parenthesis. One
sample is
select rownumber() over(order by myidcol ASC) as newid,
idtest.*

Any idea how to fix this? It works great without the row_number() over()


Thanks
