Do you have Ops Nav installed. It has a table create wizard that will generate the sql automatially and you can enter short and long names. I always give short and long names. I could also send you a script with both but use Ops Nav if you can.

Subject: Field names in SQL-generated files
Date: Wed, Aug 22, 2012 6:33 pm


We've got an SQL jock with little or no AS/400 experience developing an
entirely SQL-generated database for us (and in fact, that script that
was giving us trouble recently was part of it -- I passed along the
answers, and he was able to get the script working; thanks!).

At any rate, we're getting (not unexpectedly) SQL field names coming up
as column headings, looking at the file in QuestView. and generated
AS/400 native field names appearing wherever the SQL field names exceed
10 characters.

Is there a way to specify both the AS/400-native and SQL-native field
names when creating the file? And what about specifying an AS/400-native
filename when the SQL-native filename exceeds 10 characters?

I know about "LABEL ON" for column headings; I've used it in my own SQL
scripts
