Re: I have come across an interesting SQL issue

Hmm, I didn't try the double quotes. Maybe there was a bug that was fixed
some time between V7.2 and v7.4. I do know the column names are fine as the
only change I had to make to create the table was to change the table name.

And no to Implementer.

On my 7.4 system, your SQL statement works fine, from both STRSQL and ACS'
Run SQL Scripts.

Whenever I run across an error like yours, where changing the name of
something "fixes" the issue, I enclose the name in double quotes. E.g.:

create or replace table "usr_initial_program_override"
FOR SYSTEM name INLPGM
(prefix char(2) default ' ' primary key,
library char(10) default ' ' not null,
name char(10) default ' ' not null
);

If, by any chance, you are using PTC (MKS) Implementer change management
to deploy this, I am aware that Implementer uses this double quote
workaround. (But I doubt that you are, because Implementer requires you to
name the table on the CREATE statement with a short name = to the source
member name, then RENAME it to a long name afterwards.)

I'm also wondering whether any of the field names are causing an issue as
well. Again, double quotes can resolve these.

Subject: I have come across an interesting SQL issue

Maybe someone can explain this.

create or replace table usr_initial_program_override
FOR SYSTEM name INLPGM
(prefix char(2) default ' ' primary key,
library char(10) default ' ' not null,
name char(10) default ' ' not null
);

The above fails with SQL Error [42710]: [SQL0601]
USR_INITIAL_PROGRAM_OVERRIDE in JMMLIB type *FILE already exists.

It doesn't exist, I *ALLOBJ on this box, and I can't find it using WRKOBJ
or by querying SYSTABLES. In addition:

SELECT * FROM jmmlib.usr_initial_program_override;

Fails with SQL Error [42704]: [SQL0204] USR_INITIAL_PROGRAM_OVERRIDE in
JMMLIB type *FILE not found.

If I change the SQL file name, it works. I have 2 files this happened
with, both ended with override, and when I changed the override part of the
name to ovrd, they started working.
