Alias is not permitted for this table type
Help Document

Diagnosis

An alias for the primary key is not permitted for the type definition under consideration.

An alias name for the primary key may only be defined for a table type that does not have generic primary properties, is not a STANDARD table and does not possess a standard key.

Therefore the creation of an ALIAS is only possible if the following apply:

  • the table type is HASHED TABLE or SORTED TABLE
  • the key definition is "row type" or "user specified"
  • the uniqueness must be specified or be automatically correctable (that means UNIQUE for HASHED and NON-UNIQUE/UNIQUE for SORTED)

System Response

Procedure

Delete the alias name or check whether the rule above has been broken and correct the type definition correspondingly.
