The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
If you are already on release 7.1 it is possible to use CREATE OR REPLACE
(service) program objects such as triggers, stored procedures or UDFs and
Views.

An: Midrange Systems Technical Discussion
Betreff: Replacing objects if they exist: Another SQL-newbie UDF question
Suppose I want to create an object that might already exist, replacing
it if it does, from a source member executed with RUNSQLSTM.
I already noticed, when creating, then labeling, views, that if the
LABEL ON statement fails, the system apparently rolls beck the CREATE
TABLE as well.
So I seem to be in a double-bind: if I put a DROP statement at the
beginning of the member, before the CREATE VIEW, CREATE FUNCTION, or
CREATE <whatever> statement, and the original object is not there to be
deleted, I would expect the whole thing to fail, without anything
getting created.
And I already know empirically that if I don't DROP an already-existing
object that I'm creating, the CREATE fails.
Is there a way to make this work without having to use two separate
RUNSQLSTMs on two separate source members?
