In DDS I can define FILEA with a Zoned numeric field with size 5/2.
In DDS I can define FILEB with a Packed numeric field size 5/2, using
REFFLD as the Keyword to refer to the Zoned field in FILEA. I make the
field in FILEB Packed by placing a "P" in column 35. That will define a
new field in FILEB with the same size as the referenced field in FILEA but
make FILEB's field Packed instead of Zoned.

How do I do that in DDL? I do not want to redefine the field in DDL as
DEC(5,2).


I currently create DDL to create a table using Referenced fields as
"create table abc as(select f1.abc as ...from tttt) with no data;


Also, does anyone know if it is possible to define a Timestamp field in
DDS to have a 12 digit microsecond field like you can define in DDL?

Running V7R3 with fairly current PTFs.
