SQL Select Problem

["Mike Pantzopoulos - \(H/O\)" <mpantzopoulos@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to use the following select as a sub select in a CREATE TABLE
AS (....) statement. In essence I want to create a table using a 20 byte
field plus all the fields from the $POSTCODE table (actually a DS). The
resulting table will be populated with another SQL INSERT statement:

 

select '                    ',   * from $postcode 

                                                  

Token * was not valid. Valid tokens: ( + - ? : DAY RRN CASE CAST CHAI

 

It seems that DB2 doesn't like the asterisk used with another column.
It's either all the fields and only those fields, or hard-coding?. 

 

I need to be able to reference the fields from the $POSTCODE DS as I am
writing a generic application and can't hard-code definitions.

 

Is there a way out of this?
