 >> Perhaps nitpicking, but (IIRC) with SQL you have to define "ALLOW NULL"
for fields to accept null value, just as with DDS.

Not sure what IIRC means and I have no problem with nitpicking (I'm told I
can be really good at it <grin> but ... I have to disagree with you.

By default, fields in SQL are null capable.  In other words ALLOW NULL is
the default - BUT the _interactive_ SQL tool does automatically put in "Not
null with default" for you if you create files using prompted SQL.  So,
SQL's default is null capable but the tool adds the override information
(assumedly for compatibility with DDS).

Least that's the way I understand it - where's Kent Milligan or Bruce
Hoffman when you need them?
