Joe, I suspect that DDS will not be back-modified to support anything DDL can do - kind of a stated position from IBM, right?

Doctor, will I be able to play the piano after the operation?

OK, you probably know that one!

Once again, I'm in a position where I'm doing something that hurts. ("Doctor, it hurts when I do this..." "Well, don't do that!")  I have an SQL defined file with a timestamp.  However, it's specified as TIMESTAMP(0).  I'd like to create a DDS-defined file that mirrors this.  However, it I can't seem to find a way to specify the optional length for a timestamp field (type Z), so it used the default of TIMESTAMP(6) which creates a larger field.

Does anyone know if I can do this? Plan B is to use DDL, which should probably have been Plan A anyway, but now this has become personal.  :)

Great thinking out of the box although I'm not sure a fieldproc will do it.  I get the idea that it will be called only if that column is changed.  So if I have a table with COLa, COLb, COLc and I make a fieldproc over COLc where it is the product of COLa * COLb and I change the value in COLa it won't fire off an action against COLc.
I think you might need a trigger instead.

I may be wrong on FIELDPROC.
