That's an interesting point...

Since Alter Table does add columns to the end of the table...

Wonder what would happen if you recreated the table with the new columns in
the middle.

Did you check the SQLCODE immediately after the fetch?
Didn't you get SQLCODE 30?

Betreff: Select * into an external DS, and then adding columns

Scenario:

You have something like this:
D RCODS E DS EXTNAME(RCO)
C/EXEC SQL
C+ DECLARE C CURSOR FOR
C+ SELECT * FROM RCO
C+ WHERE CMPNY BETWEEN :
C+ W1LWCO AND :W1UPCO AND CRSTS = 'A'
C+ ORDER BY CMPNY FOR FETCH ONLY
C/END-EXEC
C/EXEC SQL
C+ OPEN C
C/END-EXEC
C/EXEC SQL
C+ FETCH C INTO :RCODS
C/END-EXEC
You add a column to the table, and do NOT recompile this program.
Therefore the external DS doesn't match.
ALTER TABLE RCO
ADD COLUMN ...

I thought (many releases ago) that this used to generate a mild warning.
Then it became a hard halt.
I just tried it with seclvl 0 logging and STRDBG running and no warning
whatsoever. The data came from the cursor and worked just fine.
