SQL integers and refflds in DDS

["Simonse, Arco \(CMK\)" <ArcoSimonse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I investigate to use SQL as DDL for a new small project in our company.
At this moment we still use DDS as DDL, but we like to make the move to
SQL for DDL. 
But when it comes to the display files, I'm still dependent of DDS to
define them. 
And there is also the problem: When I use reffld's in my DSPF to the SQL
defined files, I got stuck with integers. 
We wanted to use them for file keyfields, but because they are saved as
binary, I can't use them at the same time as reffld in DDS and as
integer field in RPG. In RPG I use the EXTBININT keyword, but in DDS
there's not such a keyword as far as I know. Are there solutions or
workarounds for this problem? And anyway, is it a good idea to define
the keyfields as integer keyfields? Or is it better to use the decimal
type?

Best regards,
Arco Simonse
