I neither see an example in what you wrote nor do I understand your question. Please post some Piece of code / log and describe what you want to do

hi oligolas
thanks for the quick replay
I'll make simplify my question
i had a transaction file in that every time one sequence number has to generate to run the code for the next job okay take like this
222 and 223 (2 files)
if I run 222 then the previous seqnum will be 221 but if it takes highest seqnum then it throughs abend similarly for the 223 so my question is how can I overcome that aband using sas code like do loops are retain give some suggestion

Are you trying to make something work that persists across SAS sessions? Such as I shut down SAS the process knows where to find the last value to start incrementing?

I can't tell what you are "looping through" though. A list of files? values? variables? datasets? libraries?
