<div><p>A specific file member can be specified in the RMTFILE parameter,
which is used only on the <span class="cmdname">Create DDM File (CRTDDMF)</span> and <span class="cmdname">Change
DDM File (CHGDDMF)</span> commands, by using the *NONSTD value followed
by the file, library, and member name.</p>
<div class="section"><p>This allows an application program to process a member other than
the first member (*FIRST) without using file overrides. However, if the program
requires redirection to more than one member, overrides should be used. Also,
programs that already use overrides to specify members of local files should
continue to do so, even if overrides to remote files are also used; otherwise,
programs that worked locally would no longer do so. If the RMTFILE parameter
contains a member name and an override with a different member name is in
effect, the file open requests fails.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"> <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> If you press F4 (Prompt) on the Create DDM File or Change
DDM File display, and specify the *NONSTD value with the remote
file name abcde, the server converts abcde to 'ABCDE' (all uppercase) and
the request is processed. However, if there is a slash or parenthesis in the
remote file name, the server puts single quotation marks around the name but
does not convert it to uppercase. Therefore, if you are using the *NONSTD
value for the remote file name and the target server requires uppercase file
names, type the remote file name in uppercase characters even when using F4
(Prompt).<pre>CRTDDMF FILE(DDMLIB/RMTCAR) RMTFILE(*NONSTD
