RE: Adding text to SQL index

Worked like a charm Vern.  Thanks.  I didn't think of the length being an 
issue.  I was thinking of how I would do it in RPG.  Define a field but not 
worry about the trailing blanks.

The problem is the length parameter - x'000000009600000F' - it should be 
76, not 96. Be sure to count the double apostrophes as one character. I 
made that change in ineteractive SQL and it worked. The messages you are 
getting have to do with garbage in memory beyond the actual statement. 
That's why the CL command processor was not happy.
