RE: **SOLVED *** RE: How IS the Record FormatLevelIdentifiercalculated?

Jeff,

Try:

Create table jeff3                
  as (select * from jeff1)        
  with data                             
  including column defaults             
  including identity column attributes  
  rcdfmt jeff1                          

I left off the "column" keyword before.

It works for me at v5r4.

Jeff2 ends up with the same data as Jeff1 and the same record format ID.

HTH,

Charles Wilt

I misspoke.  I said 'file level ID' when it's actually 
'format level ID'.

Results still fubar.

That did not work for me.

First off this statement (STRSQL) bombs:

create table qtemp/dmvdrmst
  as (select * from dmvdrmst)
  with data
  including column defaults
  including identity attributes
  rcdfmt mcrecord

With the error: Keyword ATTRIBUTES not expected. Valid tokens:
<END-OF-STATEMENT>.

If I remove the word 'attributes' then this runs:

create table qtemp/dmvdrmst
  as (select * from dmvdrmst)
  with data
  including column defaults
  including identity
  rcdfmt mcrecord

But 1) there is no data in the new file, and 2) the file 
level ids are different as night and day.

I know the answer to #2

Create table jeff2
  as (select * from jeff1)
  with data
  including column defaults

For an exact duplicate, one might want to use Create table jeff2
  as (select * from jeff1)
  with data
  including column defaults
  including identity attributes
  rcdfmt jeff1


****BINGO: The record formats are the same ***

Good catch!

1 - I'd still like to know how they calculate the hash.
2 - How do I get the following to not change the default value?
CREATE TABLE JEFF2
  as (Select * from JEFF1)
WITH DATA
RCDFMT JEFF1

You do have a difference, default value of none and no

default value

specified, which equals blank on a character field. So 

the field 

properties are different.

Here's the great mystery to solve.  Just exactly how IS 

the Record 

Format Level Identifier calculated?

Some say it's a hash of the field properties and the 

record format 

name.

However, if that is true then I shouldn't have this:

File JEFF1
