# DMSetOutputSequenceNumber
Set the sequence number/value for output
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscdm.h"
#include "petscdmlabel.h"

PetscErrorCode DMSetOutputSequenceNumber(DM dm, PetscInt num, PetscReal val)
```
## Input Parameters
- ***dm -*** The original `DM`
- ***num -*** The output sequence number
- ***val -*** The output sequence value
## Note
This is intended for output that should appear in sequence, for instance
