Jason,

you can't use the tablename as a parameter in a macro (dynamic SQL).

But you could use stored procedures:

CREATE PROCEDURE new_sales_table(my_table VARCHAR(30),
                                my_database VARCHAR(30))
   BEGIN
      DECLARE MYDATE CHAR(10) ;
      DECLARE sales_columns VARCHAR(128)
         DEFAULT
           ' (item INTEGER, price DECIMAL(8,2), sold INTEGER)';

           SEL DATE INTO :MYDATE;

      CALL DBC.SysExecSQL('CREATE TABLE ' ||
               :my_database || '.TEMP' || :MYDATE
                          || :sales_columns);
   END;
