Re: SQL RCDFMT

What I have done before is create the table as the record format name, then
rename to the table name:
create table mytabr as...;
rename mytabr to mytab;

In V5R4+, you can do:
create mytab as (...) rcdfmt mytabr;

HTH,
Loyd

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
