Steve, the problem with the sql approach is that the journaled file has date field with DATFMT(*MDY).

So when I create the "table" the date field is created as *ISO (from what I can find sql can not do DATFMT) so the cpyf fails as the date field (in *MDY format) is not a valid *ISO date.

If I can't find a way to remove the keys so I can use CRTDUPOBJ then my next option is exactly like you said and a before insert trigger on the date field to format it correctly.

Thanks,

Rob

Rob,
I would try to use "create table xxx as ( select * from duppedTable ) with
data

that should create an SQL created table. Then you can alter table and
remove the primary key?

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a journal extract file which will format JOESD from
DSPJRN.

I have it more or less working. I use CRTDUPOBJ of the journaled file
and then ALTER TABLE to add the journal fields.

As I said I have this working. The problem I just found was that the
CRTDUPOBJ still creates a keyed physical file.

Before I change the process to an all SQL solution I'm wondering if
anyone knows a way to remove the keys from the keyed physical file.

I haven't found a way but I thought someone else may of a way. If not
I'll use and sql approach...

Thanks,

Rob
