Hi All,

  Thanks for all of your help regarding getting the Nth date.
Especially to Thos Davies.  I still feel I must apologize to everyone
for being so unclear as to what I am trying to do.  Everyone is telling
me I can get duplicate dates in a distinct order query.  I am not
selecting more than ONE column :

SELECT DISTINCT PROCESS_DATE FROM PROC_DATES ORDER BY PROCESS_DATE DESC

I do not think it is possible to get a duplicate row from that Query!
There are no other attributes or columns!  All we want is to get the Nth
date from that set where N is an arbitrary, positive integer!  Again
thanks to all, especially Thos Davies.  BTW Thos, I am attempting to
implement your suggestions, but it seems neither LIMIT or LAST are DB2/2
V2.11 keywords.


Sincerely,

Peter Garner
