Source file commands

If the target server is an iSeries™ server or a System/38™, these CL commands can support a DDM file as a source file (on the SRCFILE parameter).

If the target server is not an iSeries server or a System/38, a DDM file name should not be specified on the SRCFILE parameter, because the remote file is neither an iSeries server nor a System/38 source file.

These commands can also be affected by file overrides (by using the Override with Database File [OVRDBF] command).

Note: These commands cannot run on the source server to create a file on any target server; they can, however, be submitted to run on the target server using the Submit Remote Command (SBMRMTCMD) command.

¹ CRTICFF is valid on an iSeries server. CRTCMNF, CRTBSCF, and CRTMXDF commands are valid either on System/38 or System/38 environment on an iSeries server. ² If used with the SBMRMTCMD command, the target must be a System/38.
