Dave,
Query table QSYS2.SYSTABLES and you will see that in addition to the
Table_Name column there is a System_Table_Name column. The Table_Name
column will contain the long name and the System_Table_Name column will
contain the 10 character table/file name.

Subject: SQL database object names longer than 10 characters and
mixed case?
Sent by: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx



I gather that is is possible to have SQL database object names on the
System i that are longer than 10 characters and mixed case. This could
be SQL tables, views, triggers, etc. I just can't see where they would
be used or stored. Perhaps in the IFS?

Has anyone actually used these long names, and if so, could you give me
an example? (Not the actual SQL code, but just a sample name, where you
would store in on the system, and what type of application would use it.)

Thanks.
