Re: Row Change Timestamp -- MIDRANGE-L

Please verify, I think the "row change timestamp" will be set by the db2 to the correct value regardless of what the RPG sends.

Gad,

Vern's right, you'll have to use DDL instead of DDS.

Now, on part b; yes you can update it with RPG and it will autofill the row change time stamp providing you do one of a few things:
1 - Use sql to update/add a row and do not specify the column containing the row change timestamp.
2 - Use an index that does not include the row change timestamp. Or if you're just stubborn enough to create a DDS LF over a table defined with DDL you can but just don't include that row change timestamp into that LF.
3 - Internally define the file and only output certain columns omitting the row change timestamp.

Otherwise, once you update/add the row with RLA then the row change timestamp will be in the I/O buffer and will get overridden.

This was the topic of a very recent thread.

You'll have to thread down through it to get the right thread.
