The following does it for me: a run containing 3 requests:
	initial to load the starting value
	action to generate the records: needs to get (possibly unrelated)
					input records
	final to update the starting value (for next time)

run myqtp

global temp onum int*9 initial 0
global temp first-onum int*9 initial 0

request init-onum process limit 1
access *refnum
set file refnum open read share

item first-onum maximum ref-num noreset

request action
access anyfile

output orders add
item order-key = onum
...

item onum reset to first-onum count

request finish execute if (onum>first-onum) input limit 1
access *refnum
set file refnum open read share

output *refnum update alias refnum-out using 1
item ref-num final onum
set file refnum-out open update semiexclusive
build
