</div>
<ol><li><span>Complete the DDS form.</span></li>
<li><span>Type the source statements into a source file. The source file
can be part of the <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> database
(in a source physical file such as the IBM-supplied QDDSSRC in library QGPL)
or it can be on diskettes.</span></li>
<li><span>Create the file using the appropriate CL command.</span></li>
</ol>
<div class="section"> <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Using the screen design aid (SDA) utility, you can create and
test display files without coding DDS directly, using only the functions that
apply to display files. See the <em>ADTS for AS/400<sup>®</sup>: Screen Design Aid</em> manual
