[SOLVED] "Next" function?

I am trying to convert a Hyperion to WebFocus.

The original report has "Next_Case" with function "Next(Case_Num)" so the current record contains next case number as following:

Case_Num Pers_Num BDate Next_Case
C1 002 07/12/1922 C2
C2 001 01/15/1956 C5
C5 005 01/01/2000 C9

Is any "Next" function or similar function in WebFocus?

Thank you a lot.

Maby sort by highest and then use the last function (effectively selecting the previous case)?
Hold it and show it sorted by lowest - you now have the next case for each case number.

I agree with GamP, Quite possibly the only way.
