<h1 class="topictitle1">Target <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> file
names for DDM</h1>
<div><p>As with local files, every <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> remote
file, library name, or member must begin with an alphabetic character (A through
Z, $, #, or @) and can be followed by no more than 9 alphanumeric characters:
A through Z, 0 through 9, $, #, @, _, or period (.). No name can exceed 10
characters. Blanks are not allowed in <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> names.</p>
<div class="section"><p>The use of an extended name allows additional graphic characters
to be included in quotation marks (”). The extended name also cannot exceed
10 characters, but quotation marks are included with the name, thereby limiting
the number of graphic characters to 8. Lowercase letters remain lowercase
letters. Examples of extended names are as follows: </p>
<pre>”Test.Job”
”()/+=”</pre>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>When an <span class="keyword">iSeries server</span> is
the target server, the file name can be specified in various forms, as shown
in the following examples. </p>
<dl><dt class="dlterm">library-name</dt>
<dd>Specifies the name of the library that contains the remote file. *LIBL
causes the library list of the job on the target server to be searched for
the specified file name. *CURLIB specifies the current library on the remote
server.</dd>
<dt class="dlterm">remote-file-name</dt>
<dd>Specifies the name of a database file (physical, logical, or source file)
on the target <span class="keyword">iSeries server</span>.</dd>
<dt class="dlterm">*NONSTD</dt>
<dd>Specifies, for an <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> target,
that a member name is being included with the name of the remote file. The
value *NONSTD <em>must</em> precede the full name, and the full name must be
enclosed in single quotation marks and be in all uppercase. <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> If you
press F4 (Prompt) when on the Create DDM File or Change DDM File displays,
and specify the *NONSTD value with the remote file name abcde, the server
converts abcde to 'ABCDE' (all uppercase) and the request is processed. However,
if there is a slash or parenthesis in the remote file name, the system puts
single quotation marks around the name but does not convert it to uppercase.</div>
<p>Therefore,
if you are using the *NONSTD value for the remote file name and the target
server requires uppercase file names, type the remote file name in uppercase
characters even when using F4 (Prompt).</p>
</dd>
<dt class="dlterm">member-name</dt>
<dd>Specifies the name of the member in the remote file. The member name must
be enclosed in parentheses and immediately follow the file name (with no space).
If no member name is specified, then *FIRST is assumed and the first (or only)
member in the file is accessed. This is the oldest (or only) member in the
file.</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>*LAST is supported only on the <span class="cmdname">Override with Database
File (OVRDBF)</span>, <span class="cmdname">Clear Physical File Member (CLRPFM)</span>, <span class="cmdname">Initialize
Physical File Member (INZPFM)</span>, <span class="cmdname">Reorganize Physical File
Member (RGZPFM)</span>, <span class="cmdname">Open Database File (OPNDBF)</span>,
and <span class="cmdname">Open Query File (OPNQRYF)</span> commands. *LAST is the newest
(or only) member in the file.</p>
