Here's a way to do it on the fly...

create table newtable as
(select b.*
from sysibm.sysdummy1 A
left outer join oldtable B
on 1 = 0) with no data

all the columns of newtable will be allow null.

I need to create a new table with the same fields as another table that
was created using DDS. I am using DDL to create the new table. I have used
both CREATE TABLE LIKE and CREATE TABLE AS(). Both methods create the new
table with fields that do not allow NULL, which is the DDS default.

Does anyone know how to create the new table with all of the fields being
nullable, or is there a way to execute one command to change all of the
columns to nullable, instead of executing an ALTER TABLE command for each
column?

Thank you,

Doug
