Re: SQL010 - length of a table's record

Something I have not had to deal with before.

I have to create a table that has about 400 fields which are mostly VARCHAR
and of length 100 to 2000 each. So I get SQL0101.

SQL0101 is "statement to long or complex"

At a wild guess (I'm not a sql bod, just going from a google), the issue
is not the size of the fields but is the total length of the sql
statement. By reducing the field size you have shortened the statement
length.

I guess a workaround would be to create the table with X fields, then
alter (I think) the table to add the outstanding fields.

I have always heard that the table sizes can go into the yoda byte sizes
but never a record length maximum.

For now I have reduced the field sizes to 50 chars to get passed the issue.

This is a V5R4 system.

Is there a work around or different way to use these huge record sizes?
