Just wondering if anyone has a neat trick for picking up the highest ID from a 
file. Where the file ID is an integer.

With UVSQL I would SELECT MAX(@ID) FROM TABLE; - however, the program I need to 
do this within has the file (table) open and if I try to execute it returns the 
error 'Non-SQL re-entrant query calls are not allowed.'

The best I have so far is:
   st = 'SELECT FILE @ID BY.DSND @ID'
   st<-1> = 'LIST ONLY FILE SAMPLE 1'
   exec st capturing cap
   maxId = trim(cap<4>)

Any other ideas?

Cheers,
Stuart
