Yes, he meant RNMOBJ LIB/RCDFMT *FILE TABLE after CREATE TABLE LIB/RCDFMT to get a table named TABLE with RCDFMT(RCDFMT). wow...

Driving to London is much quicker when you don't go via Brighton, so the addition of RCDFMT to CREATE TABLE at V5R4 did make it easier :)

Subject: RE: convert dds to ddl


For tables?!?! Sparked my curiosity! Is this done via after-the-fact
RNMOBJ or something else? Do tell!

Point of fact...you've _always_ been able to get a DDL created table
to have a record format ID of a DDS created physical.

With the addition of the RCDFMT clause in v5r4, it became easier. But
it could be done before.
