Hi, Mike:

You could do something like this:

CREATE TABLE TGTLIB/NEWTABLE2 AS ( SELECT COLUMN1, COLUMN2, COLUMN3, COLUMN4, COLUMN5, COLUMN6
FROM TGTLIB/OLDTABLE1
ORDER BY COLUMN1, COLUMN2) WITH DATA; DROP TABLE TGTLIB/OLDTABLE1;
RENAME TABLE TGTLIB/NEWTABLE2 TO SYSTEM NAME OLDTABLE1;

If you also want to rename some (or all) of the columns, do it like this:

CREATE TABLE TGTLIB/NEWTABLE2 AS ( SELECT COLUMN1 AS NEWFIELD1, COLUMN2 AS NEWFIELD2,
COLUMN3 AS NEWFIELD3,
COLUMN5 AS NEWFIELD5,
COLUMN4 AS NEWFIELD4,
COLUMN6 AS NEWFIELD6
FROM TGTLIB/OLDTABLE1
ORDER BY COLUMN1, COLUMN2) WITH DATA; DROP TABLE TGTLIB/OLDTABLE1;
RENAME TABLE TGTLIB/NEWTABLE2 TO SYSTEM NAME OLDTABLE1;

Cheers,

Mark S. Waterbury

Is there a way to move a column(field) in an sql created table(file)? In DDS I would just rearrange the fields in the source and do a CHGPF and the fields moved. In iSeries Navigator I can move a column around before I create the table but once it exists it does not let me move the columns up or down.
