Re: SQL: CREATE ALIAS ... part II

The info is in QSYS2/SYSTABLES. Aliases have type 'A' in that SQL catalog view. Do a DSPFD against that view to see where the info really comes from - there'll be an SQL statement in DSPFD.

As discussed in my original post, we are looking at using SQL's ALIAS to
be able to access multi-membered files in SQL.  (The design of using
multi-membered files is out of our hands because it's part of a package we
didn't write.)

So, anyway, I created the ALIAS for Lib/File(MBR), was able to run a
SELECT on the ALIAS, confirmed it was getting the right member, by virtue
of identifying the data it was displaying.

But, how does one determine which member of the PF-DTA file is being
referenced by ALIAS'd DDM file?  Neither DSPDDMF nor DSPFD shows any
member references.  The only way I can tell is by opening the ALIAS file
in SQL and displaying the job with OPTION(*OPNF).

There's gotta be a better way. ;-)
