If you use GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY then you will be able to WRITE the record using RLA.
If you use GENERATED BY DEFAULT then you may need to create a view that does not include the identity column in order to use RLA to write the record.
The easiest way being to use IDENTITY_VAL_LOCAL in an SQL program.
EXEC SQL SET :RSCPCPRJ = IDENTITY_VAL_LOCAL();
I find using GENERATED ALWAYS and IDENTITY_VAL_LOCAL works well.

Subject: Identity columns and RLA
What happens when writing a record with RLA to a table that has an
identity column?
Assuming it actually works, i.e. ignores the value in the identity
column on the WRITE, is there a way to get the value assigned to the
identity column?
