Hi all,

It's been a long day so I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what I'm doing wrong:

create table library/newfile as
(select field1, field2, char(35) as newfield, field3 from oldfile)
definition only

for some reason, this creates newfield with a length of 11 instead of 35.

I'm on V5R4.

Tks,
Glenn Gundermann
