Re: DDS altseq keyword function for SQL create index? -- MIDRANGE-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.

There is a way - hardly believe it myself. I did this in interactive SQL - take F13, then option 1 to change session attributes. Page down and change sort sequence to *LANGIDSHR. Then go back out and create your index. UC & LC will be together.

This can be set when compiling something with SQL in it; also, CRTQMQRY and RUNSQLSTM both have a sort sequence parameter. To change locally in a program, probably something like "set option" or whatever that thing is.

Cool!

Does the SQL create index statement have a function similar to the DDS keyword ALTSEQ? I have an SQL index that is over a mixed case description and I would like to have the corresponding upper and lower case words sorted together. My SQL statement is:
create index Assets.Assetsl03 on Assets.Assets( asassetdes,
aspurchdt, asassetid );
Is there anything I can do in SQL to accomplish the same thing? The application is an RPGLE program that reads the file to fill a subfile a page at a time. I am not using SQL in the RPGLE program. Do I have to create a DDS based logical file to accomplish the results I am looking for?

Thanks for any suggestions.
