Re: Create Table Enum keyword

Replace ENUM [an unsupported data type for the DB2 for i SQL] with either a CHECK CONSTRAINT listing the values IN(), or a FOREIGN KEY CONSTRAINT to REFERENCE the table with those values.

Below is a create table statement that is generated by mySQL
"show create table" command:

CREATE TABLE `bad_pages` (
`pdf_file` varchar(128) NOT NULL default '',
`bad_pages` text NOT NULL,
`status` enum('InProgress','Completed','InComplete')
NOT NULL default 'InProgress',
`bad_page_count` int(10) NOT NULL default '0',
`date` date NOT NULL default '0000-00-00',
PRIMARY KEY (`pdf_file`)

When I try to create this same table on iseries, I got the error
on the enum keyword. Is that means that iseries does not support
the enum keyword? If so, is there an equivalent for this?
