You can create a table based on the fields from another table or physical file.

CREATE TABLE NEWTBLTB (NWKEY, NWDESC, NWRSUSR, NWRSTS)
AS ( SELECT KEY1, DESC30, RSUSR, RSTS
FROM REFFLDPF)
WITH NO DATA INCLUDING DEFAULTS
RCDFMT NEWTBLRF ;

Naming all the fields in one list following the table name makes it a little easier to read.
Much easier than using FIELD AS A, FIELD AS B, FIELD AS C

Subject: SQL DDL

Hello SQL-ians

When considering defining files/tables using SQL instead of DDS I was asked whether SQL has the DDS REF File feature - REF(LIB/FILE)

Is there?

TIA
Gad
