The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

The DDS compiler has a bug in it when determining the record format level when there is a varying field in the file. SQL creates the format correctly. IBM won't fix this for fear of breaking customers' programs. Not sure if that's the cause of your issue.

I wanted to avoid using OPNQRYF and did this:
CREATE TABLE QTEMP/mytable AS

myfile_formatname
Making a full permanent [irrespective of "QTEMP"] copy of the data into QTEMP, just to create an ordered copy :-( Sometimes avoidance should be avoided ;-)
But the format levels of mytable and myfile are not the same, despite
using RCDFMT.
Why?
That depends... on what is the exact definition and origins of MYFILE. One example, defaults and identity attributes would not be included in the new TABLE using the given syntax.
