DW Union problem in PB12 (Classic)/DB2

[sunset]

Hi all. Looking for assistance. I have a dw which was built in PBv6.5 (back in '98) which uses a union. Fast forward to today (PBv12.1)where I am modifying the dw to add a new timestamp field to two of the tables in the union; I actually do not get any errors, but in the 'column specifications' section of the datawindow painter changes from the actual names ( action_code, action_desc) of the columns to action_1, action_2....all of the columns in the sql/union match .... what am I missing?

SQL:
SELECT "TRSY"."TYACTNHS"."ACTION_CODE",
"TRSY"."TYACTNHS"."ACTION_COMMENTS",
"TRSY"."TYACTNHS"."ACTION_EMP", "TRSY"."TYACTNHS"."CREATE_DATE",
"TRSY"."TYACTNHS"."ACTION_ADR_NMBR",
"TRSY"."TYACTNHS"."CHECK_NMBR",
"TRSY"."TYACTNHS"."CHECK_SEQ",
"TRSY"."TYACTNHS"."ACTION_TYPE",
"TRSY"."TYACTNHS"."CREATE_TS", //timestamp "TRSY"."TYACTNCD"."ACTION_DESC"
FROM "TRSY"."TYACTNHS",
"TRSY"."TYACTNCD"
WHERE ( ( "TRSY"."TYACTNHS"."ACTION_TYPE" =
"TRSY"."TYACTNCD"."ACTION_TYPE" ) and
( "TRSY"."TYACTNHS"."ACTION_CODE" =
"TRSY"."TYACTNCD"."ACTION_CODE" ) ) and
( ( "TRSY"."TYACTNHS"."CHECK_NMBR" = :as_check_nmbr ) AND
( "TRSY"."TYACTNHS"."CHECK_SEQ" = :ai_check_seq ) )

UNION ALL

SELECT 'Comment', 'Comment', "TRSY"."TYUCMNTS"."CREATE_USERID",
Date( "TRSY"."TYUCMNTS"."CREATE_TIME"),
0,
"TRSY"."TYUCMNTS"."CHECK_NMBR",
"TRSY"."TYUCMNTS"."CHECK_SEQ",
' ' ,
"TRSY"."TYUCMNTS"."CREATE_TIME", //timestamp
' ' FROM "TRSY"."TYUCMNTS"

WHERE ( ("TRSY"."TYUCMNTS"."CHECK_NMBR" = :as_check_nmbr) and
( "TRSY"."TYUCMNTS"."CHECK_SEQ" = :ai_check_seq) )

ps this works fine in Infomaker...THANKS FOR ANY HELP

You can specify the name of the column in the sql.

Something like "TRSY"."TYUCMNTS"."CREATE_TIME" as create_time.

Yes, this worked...note that each column in the second half of the select had to have an 'as' to match the first half of the select...
.
.
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Comment' as action_code,
'Comment' as action_comments,
"TRSY"."TYUCMNTS"."CREATE_USERID" as action_emp,
etc
etc
Thanks again...
