RE: Question on Long Column Names Returned from SQL Query. I Want Short Column Names

[Richard Schoen <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here's an example if anyone else wants to try this. I'm on V7R3 and maybe not at latest PTF level as well :

CREATE TABLE QGPL/DWTEST ( 
	WORK_ORDER_NUMBER FOR COLUMN FTWON      NUMERIC(9, 2) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0, 
	PRIMARY KEY( WORK_ORDER_NUMBER ) )   
	RCDFMT DWSERVICE ; 
  
Tests:
If you do SELECT * FROM QGPL/DWTEST, do you see: WORK_ORDER_NUMBER as the heading   ?  ( I do)

If you do SELECT WORK_ORDER_NUMBER FROM QGPL/DWTEST, do you see: WORK_ORDER_NUMBER as the heading   ?  ( I do)

If you do SELECT FTWON FROM QGPL/DWTEST, do you see: WORK_ORDER_NUMBER as the heading   ?  ( I do. It should show FTWON, but doesn't)

I get the same results in ODBC, STRSQL or ACS SQL.
