RE: Table Definitions DDS or SQL?

I like to use embedded SQL to keep my scripts and use an SQLRPGLE source
type.  There may be a better way to accomplish this but here is a
possible solution.  It helps me keep other information about the table
in one
Source member.  

Thanks to Charles for the tip on INCLUDING COLUMN DEFAULTS.

Subject: Re: Table Definitions DDS or SQL?


I forget.  It's not like I am using PDM or something to use a numbered 
option to "compile" them.  Sometimes I leave it blank.

Care to submit a DCR to give us a member type that will actually inspire

the editors to care?  Would be nice to be able to verify them in WDSC. 
These are all used, but plain SQL isn't:
SQLC 
SQLCBL 
SQLCBLLE
SQLFTN 
SQLPLI 
SQLRPG 
SQLRPGLE
