Rob,

Yes, I DID catch the PROCESS(*SYN). But it's not what I need.

Re-read my original email:

PROCESS(*SYN) performs SQL syntax-checking ONLY. PROCESS(*VLD) (where
available) not only checks the syntax, but ALSO checks that all the
relevant columns exist in the table. So specifying a syntactically valid
statement which references columns which don't exist in a table will
pass *SYN but will fail *VLD. Hell, *SYN will correctly validate a
statement which refers to a non-existent table.

THAT'S why I want *VLD processing.
