We got to this point, but still no joy. The HOLLIB/WEBAC00001 is a
data area that was created by SQL and it holds the sequence.

You create an SQL sequence object as follows.

CREATE SEQUENCE ORDER_SEQ
START WITH 500
INCREMENT BY 1
MAXVALUE 1000
CYCLE
CACHE 24;

You create the table to use the sequence as a column value as
follows.

CREATE TABLE ORDERS
(ORDERNO SMALLINT NOT NULL,
CUSTNO SMALLINT);

Then, you use the sequence object at insert time as follows.

INSERT INTO ORDERS (ORDERNO, CUSTNO)
VALUES (NEXT VALUE FOR ORDER_SEQ, :CUSTOMER_NMBER)
