When I do an alter table on a table created in sql,then compile a SQLRPGLE
with an INSERT to that table, it tells me that the column is NOT SMALLINT.
If I do a DSPFFD, it shows the column as CHARECTER, as I defended it.

From what I read, it says all you need to do is ALTER TABLE. That seems to

be the same as CHGPF in the SQL world.

I have researched this and have not found why it is doing this.

Can anyone either tell me why I am getting that error on the compile, or
give me a step-by-step process for altering a table? THANKS.
