Not sure why that specifically-SQL question is asked here; much more appropriate on Midrange-L.? Regardless, the answer is "No." IIRC the CREATE TABLE statement supports RCDFMT for both clauses AS subquery and LIKE table|view name; not to imply they are generally acceptable to replace an ALTER, but may be for a single TABLE.

However the easiest and possibly most functional manner to change the record format name is to use CREATE VIEW with the RCDFMT clause. Then refer to the VIEW instead of the TABLE.

Is it possible to set the RCDFMT on a DB2 i database table
