Can someone please help me here.
I would like to check if a volatile table that I am trying to create already exists. If not, I would want to create it, if it exists already, I do not want the script to fail.
So is there a way to do this in a bteq script.

Thanks!!!
 
Just use some error code trapping as follows:

create volatile table testtab
(Col1 integer
)
primary index(col1)
;

/* Does table already exist - 3803 error */
.IF ERRORCODE = 3803 THEN .GOTO CONT_LAB
.IF ERRORCODE <> 0 THEN .QUIT ERRORCODE

.LABEL CONT_LAB

...

Hope this helps

Thanks, but would still like to know if there is any way to prevent this error msg appearing in the log.
