The Display Distributed Data Management File (DSPDDMF) command is used to display or print information, such as remote file name and remote system location, about a specified distributed data management (DDM) file.

Parameters

Keyword	Description	Choices	Notes
FILE	File	Qualified object name	Required, Positional 1
	Qualifier 1: File	Generic name, name, *ALL
	Qualifier 2: Library	Name, *LIBL, *CURLIB, *USRLIBL, *ALL, *ALLUSR
OUTPUT	Output	*, *PRINT	Optional, Positional 2

File (FILE)

Specifies the name and library of the DDM files whose information is being shown. A generic DDM file name can be specified.

The possible values are:

*ALL

All files in the specified library (or all libraries identified in the library qualifier to which the user has access) are shown.

file-name

Specify the name of the DDM file to be shown. If *LIBL or *USRLIBL is specified as the library name, only the first file found with the specified name is shown.

generic*-file-name

Specify the generic name of the DDM files to be shown. A generic name is a character string that contains one or more characters followed by an asterisk (*). If a generic name is specified on this parameter, all files that have names with the same prefix as the generic file are shown.

Qualifier 2: Library

*LIBL

All libraries in the library list for the current thread are searched until the first match is found.

*CURLIB

The current library for the thread is searched. If no library is specified as the current library for the thread, the QGPL library is searched.

*USRLIBL

If a current library entry exists in the library list for the current thread, the current library and the libraries in the user portion of the library list are searched. If there is no current library entry, only the libraries in the user portion of the library list are searched.

*ALLUSR

All user libraries are searched. All libraries with names that do not begin with the letter Q are searched except for the following:

#CGULIB     #DSULIB     #SEULIB
#COBLIB     #RPGLIB
#DFULIB     #SDALIB

Although the following Qxxx libraries are provided by IBM, they typically contain user data that changes frequently. Therefore, these libraries are considered user libraries and are also searched:

QDSNX       QRCLxxxxx   QUSRIJS     QUSRVxRxMx
QGPL        QSRVAGT     QUSRINFSKR
QGPL38      QSYS2       QUSRNOTES
QMGTC       QSYS2xxxxx  QUSROND
QMGTC2      QS36F       QUSRPOSGS
QMPGDATA    QUSER38     QUSRPOSSA
QMQMDATA    QUSRADSM    QUSRPYMSVR
QMQMPROC    QUSRBRM     QUSRRDARS
QPFRDATA    QUSRDIRCL   QUSRSYS
QRCL        QUSRDIRDB   QUSRVI

1. 'xxxxx' is the number of a primary auxiliary storage pool (ASP).
2. A different library name, in the format QUSRVxRxMx, can be created by the user for each previous release supported by IBM to contain any user commands to be compiled in a CL program for the previous release. For the QUSRVxRxMx user library, VxRxMx is the version, release, and modification level of a previous release that IBM continues to support.

*ALL

All libraries in the system, including QSYS, are searched.

name

Specify the name of the library to be searched.

Output (OUTPUT)

Specifies whether the output from the command is displayed at the requesting work station or printed with the job's spooled output.

The possible values are:

*

The output is displayed (if requested by an interactive job) or printed with the job's spooled output (if requested by a batch job).

*PRINT

The output is printed with the job's spooled output.

Examples
