    Frank,

    I am an AS400 user that knows very well how to write SQL. I am having a bit of a problem in how to implement the CREATE TABLE command on the AS400.
    We currently use CRTPF to create our tables, but I would like to use the SQL statement CREATE TABLE.
    The questions are:
    1- How do I store the source code? (is it in QSQLSRC?)
    2- What is the source type? (TXT or SQL?)
    3- Once the source is saved, how do I create the object from the source?

    Thank you very much,
    Esdras

    Frank – Are you available for a conversation regarding an immediate consulting opportunity for a DB2 HADR implementation as part of a larger IBM Filenet p8 project?
