<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>
