RE: QSQGNDLL API / RTVSQLSRC

The best solution would be generating the SQL Script for SQL Tables and dependent objects with the GENERATE_SQL SQL Stored Procedure (you may also use the GENERATE_SQL_OBJECTS).
Until now I never had any problem with them ... (and under the cover they may also use QSQGNDLL API - which is much harder to handle)

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Perhaps you rather should go for the SQL services (that wraps the API
you are describing)

call qsys2.generate_sql_objects('INORDER','QTEMP',
database_source_file_name => output_file,
database_source_file_library_name => output_library,
database_source_file_member => output_file,
replace_option => '1',
--statement_formatting_option =>
--date_format =>
create_or_replace_option => '1',
qualified_name_option=>'1'
);

I am using it here in my gist:
