Re: Help on SQL Server 7 to AS/400 conversion on V4R4

[MacWheel99@xxxxxxx]

Have you tried *DEFAULT in place of DEFAULT with asterisk in front?
SQL is like 5th language for me so I am a novice guessing a bit here.

One thing I have found to be extremely helpful is to go into the Message 
Member where it stores the SQL error messages, then look at the addtional 
detail ... this is like second level help on an OS/400 error message ... 
cursor on error message & F1 to get more info ... well the SQL error messages 
are like that also ... my pre-compile fail on SQLRPG has summarized error 
messages that are somewhat clueless, but then I go into the second level help 
on SQL error messages & there's a mini-essay there that sometimes takes me 
further.

When in doubt, read the manual, assuming you can find the right one.
