If these are numeric columns (probably integer), try removing the 
apostrophes around the literal values. Their use indicates that the target 
column is alpha. You could also use one of the cast functions, but I 
wouldn't think that would be necessary. This is just a guess but the WITH 
DEFAULT clause is valid on the AS/400. What version of OS400 are you running?

No you don't. Just delete WITH FILLFACTOR.
