Money becomes a type available to ALL tables, just like decimal, char or
integer. The database manager presents this. (For OS/400, just read that
"system".)

As for the variable, what variable are you talking about? The money is a
TYPE, not a variable. The table is being created, not altered. If you
want, you can drop a column and then add a column in the alter table
statements.
