Specifies that this columns data type is one of the DB2 built-in data types.

Specifies that this columns data type is a user-defined data type.

Type a name for the column. Do not use the same name for more than one column of the table.

Optional: Type the name of the field procedure exit routine for this column; for example, MYPROG. Field procedures can be specified only for short string columns that do not have a non-null default value. They are often used to change the sorting sequence of the values in the column.

Optional: Type the parameters, separated by commas, to be passed to the field procedure for this column; for example, 4,3,7. The nth parameter corresponds to the nth parameter of the specified field procedure. The maximum length is 254 characters, including commas.

Optional: Type a 1 to 254-character, including embedded blanks, comment to document the column.

Specify the data type of the column.

Select to specify that the column can contain null values. Clear this check box if you do not want the column to be nullable.

If you want to use the column in a primary or unique key, it cannot be nullable. Also, ROWID columns cannot be nullable.

Optional: Type an SQL character string constant of up to 30 bytes in length for the label for the alias. The label is placed into the LABEL column of the SYSIBM.COLUMNS catalog table in the row that describes the table.

Type the length (byte count) of the column. The default length is 1 character. Available only if CHAR, VARCHAR, GRAPHIC, VARGRAPHIC, CLOB, BLOB, or DBCLOB is specified in the Data type field.

The maximum value allowed depends on the data type, and for LOBs, on the specified LOB units. See the online help for details.

Type an integer, that ranges from 1 to 31, for the precision (total number of digits) for a DECIMAL column. The default precision is 5. Available only if DECIMAL is specified in the Data type field.

Specify a subtype for a character string column (CHAR, VARCHAR, or CLOB data type):

Optional: For a large object (LOB) column, specify the units in which the length is to be measured. Available if the Data type is CLOB, BLOB, or DBCLOB. The LOB units multiplied by the value that you specify in Length set the maximum length for the column. For example, a CLOB column with a LOB unit of K Bytes has a maximum column length of 1024 times the value specified in Length.

Type an integer, that ranges from 0 to the number specified in Precision, for the scale (number of digits to the right of the decimal) for a DECIMAL column. The default scale is 0. Available only if DECIMAL is specified in the Data type field.

Select a default value to be assigned to the column when no value is specified in an insert or load operation. Do not specify for a ROWID column. The available choices depend on the columns data type.

You cannot specify a default value for the column if you specified a field procedure for the column.

Select the type of default value to be assigned to the column when no value is specified in an insert or load operation. Available only if the Default check box is selected.

You cannot specify a default value for the column if you specified a field procedure for the column.

Optional: Type the value that will be assigned to the column when no value is specified in an insert or load operation. The value must be a valid value for the columns data type.

Specifies that DB2 always generates values for the column when a row is inserted into the table. Available only for the ROWID data type.

You cannot update these column values. Always is recommended unless you specified Data capture on the Table page, and are using this table for replication.

Specifies that DB2 will generate a value for the column when a row is inserted into the table unless a value is specified in the insertion operation. Available only for the ROWID data type.

DB2 uses the specified value only if it is a valid ROWID value. The ROWID column must have a unique, single-column index. Specifying the By default radio button is recommended if you are using this table for replication.

Opens a List window that you can use to view or filter the available items and select one.

Specify the schema of the distinct type (user-defined data type).

Opens a List window that you can use to view or filter the available items and select one.

Specify the name of the distinct type to use for this column. The encoding scheme of the distinct type must be the same as the encoding scheme of the table. The subtype, if any, for the distinct type, is the subtype with which the distinct type was created.

Select to specify that the column can contain null values.

If you want to use the column in a primary or unique key, it cannot be nullable.

Select to specify a default value to be assigned to the column in the absence of a value specified in an insert or load operation. Do not specify for a ROWID column.

Select to specify a cast function with the same name and schema as the distinct type specified in Distinct type name and Distinct type schema is used for the default value. You must have the EXECUTE privilege on the cast function.

Select the type of default value to be assigned to the column (or used in the cast function) when no value is specified in an insert or load operation. Available only if the Default check box is selected.

You cannot specify a default value for the column if you specified a field procedure for the column.

Type the value that will be assigned to the column (or used in the cast function) in the absence of a value specified in an insert or load operation. The value must be a valid value for the columns data type.

Specifies that DB2 always generates values for the column when a row is inserted into the table. Use only if the distinct type is based on the ROWID data type.

You cannot update these column values. Always is recommended unless you specified Data capture on the Table page, and are using this table for replication.

Specifies that DB2 will generate a value for the column when a row is inserted into the table unless a value is specified in the insertion operation. Use only if the distinct type is based on the ROWID data type.

DB2 uses the specified value only if it is a valid ROWID value. The ROWID column must have a unique, single-column index. Specifying the By default radio button is recommended if you are using this table for replication.

Submits the data in the notebook and closes the window. Available only when the required fields are completed.

Cancels any unsaved changes and closes the notebook or window.
