Re: View to create a PF?

Serious question - do you have a way to see the SQL Reference manual? Answers to this kind of question are there - I hope I don't sound too harsh here, but using this group as a reference manual is just not polite. You CAN do some of the work yourself - obviously you've done a lot, to your credit. But this kind of simple thing - the manual is the first place to go.

If you HAVE looked there and can't find it, it's perfectly OK to say so - it is even the really good thing to say so.

If you would say that you are in a hurry and don't have time to look it up - consider the number of people who are very willing to help, and they also are very busy - multiple your time by several thousand or and see what the impact is.

I have to say, I simply won't answer things like this, if they continue. Am I a bad guy? Perhaps. So be it!

:)

With sincere regards
Vern

CHAR (6) is fine.
How do you code numeric like CAST(IRQOH# AS NUMERIC(13.2)

bad if it works.

Expanding further...
and assuming all columns are character...

CREATE VIEW astccdta.acbalmpk AS (
(SELECT LMLTPC, COALESCE(IRLOC1,'') as IRLOC1, COALESCE(IRLOC2,'')
as IRLOC2, COALESCE(IRLOC3,'') as IRLOC3, IRPRT#, IRQOH#, IRWHS#,
'' as IEPRT#, '.00' as IEQOH#, '' as IELOC1, '' as IELOC2, '' as
IELOC3, '' as IERIDC, '' as IEWHS#

becomes

CREATE VIEW astccdta.acbalmpk AS (
(SELECT
CAST(LMLTPC AS CHAR(??) CCSID 37) AS LMLTPC,
CAST(COALESCE(IRLOC1,'') AS CHAR(??) CCSID 37) as IRLOC1,
CAST(COALESCE(IRLOC2,'') AS CHAR(??) CCSID 37) AS IRLOC2,
...

after awhile you quickly learn that fixing your underlying CCSID's is
probably a great idea.

Hopefully this view is for developer use only. Otherwise, why would
someone go to such trouble to create a view and still use obfuscated
column names?
