Hi Rob
Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you wrote.
If I created the table in a library other than QTEMP, then yes you CAN alter the table with the following SQL command in STRSQL

ALTER table NONqtemp/VACOMP ADD PRIMARY KEY (LCMPY)

With no problem

DDS vs SQL has NOTHING to do with it.

You can create a SQL index or view in QTEMP. You can create a DDS LF in QTEMP. You say this, I say that. Samething.

What you CANNOT do is either ALTER TABLE with SQL, or ADDPFCST outside of SQL, to add a unique key upon an existing table.
