I'm testing a change to an SQLRPGLE which has been in use for some
years.

The program object was created using PDM work with Objects to copy
the program from a production lib into a special test lib I'm using
just for this test.

I'm wondering why I received SQL0601 on the following embedded SQL:

DECLARE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE lcp980wk1
( delloc CHAR(4) NOT NULL,
<<SNIPped>>
)
WITH REPLACE NOT LOGGED

My assumption was "WITH REPLACE" would allow the table to be replace
in the event it exists ?

That is the purpose of the clause.

Would it be better practice to start with a DROP command ?

Precede the DECLARE with a DROP statement, probably only in supposing there is a defect to overcome; i.e. as a circumvention. FWiW, if the attempt to DROP TABLE QTEMP/lcp980wk1 RESTRICT [after the -601 error] fails due to restrictions, then that gives support for the APAR\PTF noted; i.e. the default of CASCADE for DROP ignores the /restriction/.

p.s. the topic seems purely SQL; unlikely to be specific to RPG
