Build SQL to Define Your Existing Files Hey, Ted: We have always defined our files with DDS, but now we're ready to use SQL for data definition.
Do you have a good way to convert our DDS to SQL Data Definition Language (DDL) commands? -- Paul IBM included just the tool you need in V5R1. It's the Generate Data Definition Language (QSQGNDDL) API. You can read about it on the Web at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/html/as400/v5r1/ic2924/index.htm?info/apis/qsqgnddl.htm . I'll give you an example of what it can do. Then I'll give you some code you can use to generate DDL. Here are DDS members for a physical file called CUSTOMER and a logical file called CUSTOMER2:
* Physical file CUSTOMER
A UNIQUE
A R CUSTREC
A COMPANY 3P 0 DFT(1)
A TEXT('Company')
A COLHDG(' ' ' '
'Comp')
A CUSTNBR 5P 0
A TEXT('Customer
account number')
A COLHDG('Cust'
'acct' 'nbr')
A CUSTNAME 20
A TEXT('Customer name')
A COLHDG(' ' 'Cust'
'name')
A CREDITLIM 7S 2
A TEXT('Credit limit')
A COLHDG(' ' 'Credit'
'limit')
A K COMPANY
A K CUSTNBR
* Logical file CUSTOMER2 A R CUSTREC PFILE(CUSTOMER) A COMPANY A CUSTNBR A CUSTNAME A K CUSTNAME A S COMPANY CMP(EQ 2) Here is the SQL source member that QSQGNDDL created from the object definitions:

WHERE
COMPANY = +2 ;
I wrote a quick utility to run the API. I call it GENDDL. It consists of a command object, an ILE CL program called GENDDL01C, and an ILE RPG program called GENDDL01R. It's not meant to be a general-purpose utility--I hard-wired a lot of the options in the template parameter, the first parameter that is passed to the API. I have used it to generate SQL code for tables, views, indexes, and functions and it has worked for me, but I don't make any guarantees. You will need to change it to suit your purposes. These are the commands I used to generate the SQL for the CUSTOMER and CUSTOMER2 files in the examples above. GENDDL OBJECT(CUSTOMER) + OBJECTLIB(ABCLIB) OBJECTTYPE(TABLE) + SRCFILE(SQLGEN) SRCLIB(QTEMP) SRCMBR(CUS) + REPLACE(Y) GENDDL OBJECT(CUSTOMER2) + OBJECTLIB(ABCLIB) OBJECTTYPE(VIEW) + SRCFILE(SQLGEN) SRCLIB(QTEMP) SRCMBR(CUS) + REPLACE(N)I hope this helps. -- Ted
