CRTSRCPF: Varchar SRCDTA, real date SRCDAT

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

CRTSRCPF needs an update. Please add an option for creating source data fields in varchar & use real dates for last mod date.

For bonus points, last mod date should be auto-generated. Extra bonus points if whitespace changes don't modify the date and column is hidden by default.

If modernizing the date field is too hard, then simply changing SRCDTA to varchar would be sufficient improvement for one RFE.


Use Case:

Writing code, producing the applications that generate all the sales.
