On your SELECT statement, extract the value of the field, lets say MAIN.INV_NO is found to have a value of "247" and you assign it to variable OldInv. Next you would create a variable NewInv and set it to "248", which is the old value plus one, which is what you want to set it to. Then run an UPDATE statement something like:

UPDATE main SET inv_no = :NewInv WHERE inv_no = :OldInv

If the number of rows updated is 1, the update worked. If not, the value changed, retry this entire process again until it works.
