Hi Scott,

i´m a GoogleGropus-beginner but i hope you´ll find that useful.

For a gapless cycle of numbers i would use the pseudocolumn "rownum".

example : select rownum, * from dummytable

convert it to char and fill the missing leading "0" with lpad like
this:

select lpad(to_char(rownum),3,'0'), * from dummytable

concat the cycle using the pipe like that:

select to_char(sysdate,'dd\mm\yyyy') || lpad(to_char(rownum),3,'0')
from dummytable

hope that helps

Martin
