I've had luck in the past with a create table followed by an alter table to set the identity column.
ALTER TABLE tableName ALTER COLUMN columnName SET GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY (CYCLE);
ALTER TABLE tableName ADD COLUMN columnName DEC(11,0) GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY (CYCLE);

Subject: Create SQL table LIKE another table, and add a new column
(This is based on a thread I started last week, "Add a unique 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
