RE: SQL Create table

Well, there's nothing wrong with creating your temp file this way, but there's 
a catch.... Native I/O requires too much work...

If I were doing this, I'd make the choice to perform ALL I/O operations to this 
file via embedded SQL.  A single statement could be constructed to build the 
QTEMP file and populate it with data.  That could look something like this:

CREATE TABLE QTEMP/MYTEMPDTA AS
(
        Select OH.Cust#, CM.CstName, CM.B2City, CM.B2State, OH.TtlDue
        From    OrderHdr OH                             inner join
                CustMast CM on (OH.Cust#=CM.Cust#)
        Where OH.PaidFlag <> 'Y'
) 
WITH DATA

Your SQL inside the "Create table as" statement can be any valid select 
statement, including statements using CTE expressions.  There has been some 
discussion of late about CTE's, so check the archives if you're not familiar 
with them...  Anyway, this is quite powerful when done properly...

HTH,
Eric

Subject: SQL Create table



Instead of using the CRTDUPOBJ for work files in qtemp I'm trying this...

C/EXEC SQL
C+ CREATE TABLE QTEMP/LLM43CWK
C+ (PART CHAR (8),
C+  DESC CHAR (25),
C/END-EXEC

Where should this file be declared, external data structure? I've tried
using an F Spec, but the compiler cannot resolve the file as it isnt there.

Hope this makes sense

Many thanks
