RE: CREATE TABLE on iSeries

Hi,

I assume you add IF NOT EXIST at the end of the CREATE TABLE command.
This syntax is not allowed for DB2 UDB for iSeries.
You either have to drop an existing table before recreating it, or you'll
get an error if it already exists.

You'll find the syntax for all SQL statements in the SQL Reference in the
iSeries Information Center.
The syntax for the CREATE TABLE Statement under Release V5R2 can be found
here:

Subject: CREATE TABLE on iSeries

I am running V5R2 and am trying to do a CREATE TABLE within SQL.  I can
get that to work just fine but when I add the IF NOT EXIST clause it
will not work.  Is this clause valid on the iSeries?  I took a look on
IBM's website and I don't see it anywhere.  Can someone either confirm
that this is not a valid clause or let me know what the syntax is?

Thanks,
