  Data description specifications (DDS), which is used to externally describe the fields and record formats, can also be used with DDM to describe the file and record formats of a remote file.
• DDM user profile authority
  iSeries server users are not allowed to perform functions equivalent to CL commands on remote iSeries servers using DDM without the proper command authorization.
