Hi,

EDITC and DATFMT both keywords in DDS were originally designed to make the
data readable with tools like WRKF.
SQL does not include those keywords, because how the data look like is not
part of the database but the interface.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Betreff: SQL table edit code questions

Hi All:



I've been using SQL more in my daily work. I'm working with my first table
defined using SQL.



Since I have users who like to use Query/400, Is there an equivalent to the
EDTCDE DDS keyword that I can use maybe via ALTER TABLE?



I also have a timestamp field in this table, is there a way to define a
separate date and time field as well?



I see iDate and and mcpress article for an edit code UDF from Bruce Vining,
but will they work with Query?

Thanks, Jack
