I would like to see your source for this. Been thinking about writing
something similar but maybe your code can save me some time.

Thanks

I was actually also contemplating if I could possible write an app that
would read DDS source and turn it into a CREATE TABLE or CREATE VIEW or
CREATE INDEX and just stop using the CRTPF CRTLF commands

The work has already been done. There is a command out there that converts
from DDS to DDL. I call it GENDDL but not sure that was original name. I
will be happy to send you the source if you want it.

GENDDL OBJ(CUSTMAST) LIB(ILFILE) OBJTYP(TABLE) SRCFILE(ALANC/QSRCF)
SRCMBR(CUSTMAST) TEXT('Customer Master in DDL.')

i can't remember if converting to DDL changes the level id's. Will test.

some questions:

we are at 6.1. is there a benefit to wait for 7.1?


I know I can add field alias, change column text, and field text.
what else can/should I put in the SQL, without changing the level id?

I will create new SQL indexes prior to re-creating my old logicals.
what else can/should I do to my logicals?


Thanks so much.
