key field to view without redefining table".)

So, I'm attempting to create a new table by way of using LIKE:

create table newtable
like oldtable,
UniqueID BigInt GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY

It's not liking the comma, giving SQL0104:

Token , was not valid. Valid tokens: IN ON NOT DATA LONG OBID
UNIT WITH INDEX VALUE APPEND RCDFMT.


I've been reading the CREATE TABLE section in the SQL reference,
and coming up blank. I've searched online, but not finding
relevant results.

Not possible the way you are trying to do it AFAIK...

You could do
CREATE TABLE LIKE
ALTER TABLE

Mostly redundant, per my prior reply, but specifically, the second link shows examples of dynamic compound statements used to combine the actions like those suggested above:

[Create table LIKE another including Primary key...](http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/201606/msg00370.html)

[SQL Create Table As Select with Constraints](http://archive.midrange.com/rpg400-l/201605/msg00272.html)
