Except now a file isn't a file, it's a table.

Someone said
>To use the files in SQL I believe you have to create an SQL table,   
instead
of a
>CRTPF or CRTLF.

Someone else said;
Uh ... wrong.    Thats the nice thing on the AS/400 a *FILE is a *FILE
as opposed to the PC where a file is a .EXE a .XLS a .DOC a .DLL a .ETC
and it's up to the application to open it up and say WHAT IS THIS JUNK
or whatever runtime message each package gives you(like.. Sorry; this
is not a Powerpoint Presentation).

Anyway,  SQL sees a PF created from the CRTPF command exactly like it see
a table created using the CREATE TABLE and vice versa, etc, and so on.
