RE: Change Record Format Name -- MIDRANGE-L

I'll put in a requirement. The create table already has a rcdfmt option so no need to do below option if you remember about the record format name. The alter table rename however does not know about rcdfmt, but should.

Now I am stuck with creating new table, changing journaling properties, setting up permissions, copying data from old table into new table, deleting old table.

Not an efficient use of time I have to say.

That's the way I've done it on a recent project.

Hi Matt,

No way to rename it after the fact, however, if you're stuck on an old system without the RCDFMT keyword on the CREATE TABLE statement, the work around was to create the table with name of the record format, then after it was created, rename the table as the actual table name.

For example,

CREATE TABLE myRcdFmt...
RENAME TABLE myRcdFmt TO myTable

All,

What is the rename command to change a record format name?

We have this SQL available to change the SQL Long Name, SQL Short Name (System Name), but I don't see RCDFMT name.

Example:
RENAME TABLE LongName TO LongTableName FOR SYSTEM NAME LongName;

But what about changing record format names?

Thanks
