I ran across an old message, and since the thread went a bit astray and apparently unresolved, I chose to post a resolution as a new message, instead of a reply to an '06 msg. I chose to respond to what Rob had pointed out as appearing suspect in http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/200609/msg01271.html

To get the same record format level identifier as the TABLE referenced in the SELECT, for the given CREATE TABLE, requires an additional SQL clause to be appended to the CREATE TABLE:
INCLUDING DEFAULTS

Note: Alternate syntax is INCLUDING COLUMN DEFAULTS
Note: The default is EXCLUDING COLUMN DEFAULTS

If the referenced table had an Identity column, there is a similar clause, similarly with alternate syntax, and also /excluding/ as default:
INCLUDING IDENTITY
