One can specify (at least) primary key on a table, thereby making the index
with one step.

I bought my brother some gift-wrap for Christmas. I took it to the Gift
Wrap department and told them to wrap it, but in a different print so he
would know when to stop unwrapping.

AFAIK, CREATE TABLE creates a physical file with only "arrival
sequence"
(access path), so if you have a physical file that has keys, you cannot
create a direct equivalent with only a TABLE ...

You would have to create an SQL INDEX also, and so then, what would you
propose to do? Perhaps create the TABLE with a (slightly) different
name, and then create an SQL INDEX with the same name as the original
"keyed" physical file?

Would not that be the same as the previously suggested approach of
creating a Logical File with the same name as the original file, and
that has the necessary keys also defined? Then, CRTLF will create the
logical file which will also have the correct (possibly shared) access
path associated with it.
