Re: SQL RCDFMT

[TAllen@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

The table is being created with an as-subquery and I don't see anywhere to
set the RCDFMT on that.  Is that possible?  That is why I am looking at the
ALTER statement.  It would be ideal if the RCDFMT could be set on the
initial CREATE as-subquery.

Thanks,

   Not sure why that specifically-SQL question is asked here; much
more appropriate on Midrange-L.?  Regardless, the answer is "No."
IIRC the CREATE TABLE statement supports RCDFMT for both clauses AS
subquery and LIKE table|view name; not to imply they are generally
acceptable to replace an ALTER, but may be for a single TABLE.

   However the easiest and possibly most functional manner to change
the record format name is to use CREATE VIEW with the RCDFMT clause.
  Then refer to the VIEW instead of the TABLE.
