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
If you break it down to its simplest form, all will be revealed. Below is
your inner select and its result. It makes sense: it is casting 35 as a
character field, just like you requested. I don't know how to do what
you're trying to do except with ATLER.
select field1, field2, char(35) as newfield, field3 from oldfile
FIELD1 FIELD2 FIELD4 FIELD3
a b 35 c
d e 35 f
g h 35 i
******** End of data ********
create table library/newfile as
(select field1, field2, field3 from oldfile)
definition only
ALTER TABLE LIBRARY/NEWFILE ADD COLUMN NEWFIELD CHAR (35)
