<h1 class="topictitle1"><span class="cmdname">CRTDTAARA (Create Data Area)</span> command</h1>
<div><p>The<span class="cmdname"> Create Data Area (CRTDTAARA)</span> command creates
a data area and stores it in a specified library. It also specifies the attributes
of the data. The data area can be optionally initialized to a specific value.</p>
<div class="section"><p>You can create a DDM data area by specifying *DDM on the TYPE
parameter. The DDM data area is used as a reference data area by programs
to access data areas located on a remote (target) server in the DDM network.
Programs on the local (source) server reference a remote data area by the
DDM data area's name, not by the remote data area's name. (The DDM data area
name can be the same as the remote data area name.)</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>The DDM data area (on the source server) contains the name of
the remote data area and the name of the remote (target) server on which the
remote data area is located.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>The DDM data area can be used with the <span class="cmdname">Retrieve Data
Area (RTVDTAARA)</span> command and the <span class="cmdname">Change Data Area (CHGDTAARA)</span> command
to retrieve and update data areas on remote servers. A DDM data area can also
be used with the <span class="apiname">Retrieve Data Area (QWCRDTAA)</span> API.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>Consider the following items when using this command with DDM:</p>
<ul><li>The RMTDTAARA parameter is the name of the remote data area on the target
server. The data area does not need to exist when the DDM data area is created.</li>
<li>The RMTLOCNAME parameter is the name of the remote location that is used
with this object. Multiple DDM data areas can use the same remote location
for the target system. RMTLOCNAME must point to a target server that is an <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> running at a release of <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> that supports remote data
areas. The possible values for RMTLOCNAME include: <ul><li><samp class="codeph">remote-location-name</samp>: Specifies the name of the remote
location that is associated with the target system. The remote location, which
is used in accessing the target system, does not need to exist when the DDM
data area is created, but it must exist when the DDM data area is accessed.</li>
<li>*RDB: The remote location information for the relational database entry
specified in the relational database (RDB) parameter is used to determine
the remote system.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The DEV parameter is the name of the APPC device description on the source
server that is used with this DDM data area. The device description does not
need to exist when the DDM data area is created.</li>
<li>The LCLLOCNAME parameter is the local location name.</li>
<li>The MODE parameter is the mode name that is used with the remote location
name to communicate with the target server.</li>
<li>The RMTNETID parameter is the remote network ID in which the remote location
resides that is used to communicate with the target server.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>Consider the following restrictions when using this command with
DDM:</p>
<ul><li>You cannot create a DDM data area using the names *LDA, *GDA, or *PDA.</li>
<li>You cannot create a data area remotely. This function can be done remotely
by using the <span class="cmdname">Submit Remote Command (SBMRMTCMD)</span> command.</li>
<li>You can remotely display data areas by using the <span class="cmdname">SBMRMTCMD</span> command.</li>
<li>You can display the contents of remote data areas by using the <span class="cmdname">Display
Data Area (DSPDTAARA)</span> command; specify *RMT on the SYSTEM parameter.
The data in the data area is displayed in the same format as that used for
local data areas, with the exception of the TEXT field, which is the text
description provided when the DDM data area was created. If you specify *LCL
on the SYSTEM parameter for a DDM data area, the output looks similar to the
following display:</li>
</ul>
