Hi Chapin,

>1. The DDS ALIAS is available via ODBC as well

How?  I cannot locate any way to ALTER TABLE an existing file.  I can do it
via CREATE TABLE, but the tables are created by Synon-generated DDS.

That's the path we took.  Gen the file and modify the DDS before CRTPF.
Thanks for the additional validation of the method!
