INCREMENT BY Option

INCREMENT BY Option

Use the INCREMENT BY option to specify the interval between successive numbers in the sequence. The BY keyword is optional. The interval, or step value, can be a positive whole number (for an ascending sequence) or a negative whole number (for a descending sequence) in the INT8 range. If you do not specify any step value, the default interval between successive generated values is 1, and the sequence is an ascending sequence.
