I'm trying to create a table with this by putting the following into a source member and using RUNSQLSTM:

CREATE TABLE TEMP AS ( SELECT DBIFIL, DBIFMT, DBIFLD, DBIUPD FROM QSYS/QADBIFLD WHERE DBIFIL = "TEST" PRIMARY KEY(DBIFIL, DBIFMT, DBIFLD) WITH DATA;

It doesn't like the PRIMARY KEY() clause. I checked the v5r3 SQL manual, and it doesn't give any examples of doing it, but has the following to say under the "as sub-query" heading of the CREATE TABLE command:

"The implicit definition does not include any other optional attributes of the identified table or view. For example, the new table does not automatically include a primary key or foreign key from a table. The new table has these and other optional attributes only if the optional clauses are explicitly specified."

which to me implies that I can use the PRIMARY KEY clause, I just don't have the syntax right.

Does anyone know the correct syntax, or whether this is allowed or not?
