Re: How Can I get A sequence Current Value in PROC

Yes, <sequenceName>.CURRVAL

Note that this provides the current value for the session: i.e. the value that was last returned by NEXTVAL within that session. Therefore:

1. NEXTVAL must have been called at least once before in the session to define CURRVAL.
2. Even if NEXTVAL is called for the sequence in another session, CURRVAL in the original session will relate to the previous call to NEXTVAL in the original session - it does not increment.
