Re: "declare global temporary table" produces different recordformatLevel Id than original file

Gerald -

The original FAA5905 file has key fields, but having key fields has no bearing on the record format level id.

From what I have learned, the record format level ID is dependent on the

format name and the name, number, placement, length, and attributes of the fields therein.

(NOT whether or not it is a keyed file...)

In other words, if you change any of the following:

1) the record format name specified in the DDS,
2) the name of a field
4) the placement of fields within the file layout
5) length of any field
6) attributes of any field (char, numeric, etc.)

For example:

I created a copy of the DDS used to create FAA5905, except this DDS has NO key fields specified, and when compiled it produces an arrival sequence file which has record format level id of 2729492F22E27, same as the original keyed physical file.

However, I have been wrong on numerous occasions, and I'm sure that someone here will correct me if I am wrong!

Does your MYLIB/FAA5905 file have Keys?
-they don't come across.

Is there a question in here somewhere?

(Received the same result on both V5R4M0 and 7.1 systems...)

Permanent file MYLIB/FAA5905 has 19 fields, record length of 133,
record format level identifier 2729492F22E27.

Used green-screen (STRSQL) to execute SQL statement: "Declare global
temporary table FAA5905 like MYLIB/FAA5905"

DSPFD of QTEMP/FAA5905 shows that the file built by the above SQL
statement has 19 fields, record length of 133, but the record format
level identifier is 26F9492F22E27.

( DIFFERENT format level ID...)
