As a follow up question on the use of DDL,

If I want to add a key (non-unique and non-primary) to a table from within
the create table routine, is it possible?

I know that I can create an index (which from I understand is similar in
nature to a *LF), which is not what I want to do.....I want to create a
default sort or order on the table itself.....

RE: Using meaningful names for table columns



Doug,

Here is a brief example for V5R4:

Create table loyd.blah (
Transactioncode for column transcode char(3) not null with default
) rcdfmt blahr;

Label on table loyd.blah is 'Test table';

Label on column loyd.blah (
Transactioncode text is 'Transaction code'
);

Label on column loyd.blah (
transactioncode is 'Transaction Code'
);

HTH,
Loyd

Subject: Using meaningful names for table columns

I am creating a DDL for a new table, and have been going through the SQL

reference guide trying to figure out how I can give a field a more
meaningful name, sort of like how I do it in DDS. Is there a way to
define a column (field) with something like the TEXT('blah blah') that
we
use in a DDS?
