<h1 class="topictitle1">OUTFILE parameter considerations for DDM</h1>
|
|
<div><p>The OUTFILE parameter is used on such commands as the <span class="cmdname">Display
|
|
File Description (DSPFD)</span>, the <span class="cmdname">Display File Field Description
|
|
(DSPFFD)</span>, the <span class="cmdname">Display Object Description (DSPOBJD)</span>,
|
|
and the <span class="cmdname">Create Auto Report Program (CRTRPTPGM)</span>. The parameter
|
|
identifies a database file into which output data created by the command is
|
|
stored.</p>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>When the name of a DDM file is specified on the OUTFILE parameter
|
|
of these commands, two restrictions apply:</p>
|
|
<ul><li>The remote server must be an <span class="keyword">iSeries™ server</span> or
|
|
a <span class="keyword">System/38™</span>. This is necessary
|
|
to ensure that the associated remote file has the proper format for the output
|
|
data.</li>
|
|
<li>The remote file associated with the DDM file must already exist. If the
|
|
remote file does not exist, a message is returned to the user indicating that
|
|
the remote file must exist before the function can be performed.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>If the remote file named on the OUTFILE parameter does exist and
|
|
is on an <span class="keyword">iSeries server</span> or a <span class="keyword">System/38</span>, the file will be checked for
|
|
three conditions before it can be used as an output database file to store
|
|
displayed output:</p>
|
|
<ul><li>The remote file must be a physical file.</li>
|
|
<li>The remote file must not be a model output file. That is, it cannot be
|
|
one of the model output files provided with the <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> operating
|
|
system which has the required format, but no data.</li>
|
|
<li>The record format name in the remote file must match the model output
|
|
file record format name. (This condition requires that the remote system be
|
|
an <span class="keyword">iSeries server</span> or a <span class="keyword">System/38</span>.)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>If all of these conditions are met, the remote file member is
|
|
cleared. (Output file members <em>must</em> be cleared before they can be used
|
|
again.) If the remote file member does not exist, it is created and the output
|
|
is stored in it.</p>
