RE: RUNSQLSTM drop/create alias error

Assuming crossreference files are not damaged (per your mention of RCLSTG),
try these steps out and see if it works:

DLTF TRSFDD/IMPACT
/* ignore any errors you get from dltf, if any */
RUNSQLSTM SRCFILE(TRSFDD/SQLSRC) SRCMBR(UPDATEIMP) COMMIT(*NONE)

Subject: RUNSQLSTM drop/create alias error

I had a sql stmt that ran just fine until this afternoon. It worked all
morning just fine.
I think it started aborting when I deleted the file, made mods, recreated
it.

Found something about RCLSTG - not something I'll be doing or asking OPS.
I tried using a different alias. Didn't work.

How do you even view a list of aliases for a file?
We don't have a SQL - cannot STRSQL, but can RUNSQLSTM using a source file.

Spent a couple of hours trying to track this down. Your help would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Fran


RUNSQLSTM SRCFILE(TRSFDD/SQLSRC) SRCMBR(UPDATEIMP) COMMIT(*NONE)
Alternative name for file IMPACT not allowed.
File IMPACT not created in library TRSFDD.
IMPACT in TRSFDD type *FILE already exists.
RUNSQLSTM command failed.
RUNSQLSTM command failed.

After the 'already exists' I tried this:
*************** Beginning of data ***************************
--drop alias trsfdd/impact;
Create alias trsfdd/Impact FOR TRLIBDTA/TRIMPCP ;
UPDATE trsfdd/Impact
set PCPROC = ' ';
