<h1 class="topictitle1">Rules for specifying target server file names for DDM</h1>
<div><p>The rules for specifying the name of a DDM file (on the local <span class="keyword">iSeries™ server</span>) are the same as for any other
file type on an <span class="keyword">iSeries server</span>. The
rules, however, for specifying the name of a remote file depend on the type
of target server.</p>
<div class="section"><p>A remote file name can be specified only on the RMTFILE parameter
of the <span class="cmdname">Create DDM File (CRTDDMF)</span> and <span class="cmdname">Change DDM
File (CHGDDMF)</span> commands. The following list is the maximum number
of characters that can be used on the RMTFILE parameter to specify a remote
file name:</p>
<ul><li>For the <span class="keyword">iSeries server</span> (database
management): 33 characters. This maximum can occur when a full name is specified
that includes a library qualifier and a member name. For example: <pre>LIBRARY123/FILE123456(MEMBER1234)</pre>
The
value DM can be added to the name to specify that this is a data management
file. There can be one or more blanks between the name and DM. This is the
default.</li>
<li>For the <span class="keyword">iSeries server</span> (folder
management services): 76 characters. This maximum can occur when a fully qualified
path name (consisting of 76 characters) is specified. For example: <pre>/Path123/Path223/Path323/Path423/
Path523/Path623/Path723/Path823/Path923/DOC1 FMS</pre>
The value
FMS specifies that this is a folder management object. There can be one or
more blanks between the name and FMS.</li>
<li>For <span class="keyword">System/38™</span>: 33 characters.
This maximum can occur when a full name is specified that includes a library
qualifier and a member name. For example: <pre>FILE123456.LIBRARY123(MEMBER1234)</pre>
</li>
<li>For <span class="keyword">System/36™</span> and CICS<sup>®</sup>: 8 characters.
For example: <pre>FILE1234</pre>
</li>
<li>For other systems: 255 characters is the maximum length allowed by the
DDM architecture. The actual maximum length and syntax are determined by the
target server.</li>
</ul>

<ul class="ullinks">
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbae5ddmtargetnames.htm">Target iSeries file names for DDM</a></strong><br />
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.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbae5noninames.htm">Target non-iSeries file names for DDM</a></strong><br />
For non-<span class="keyword">iSeries</span> remote
file names, the name must be in the form required by the target server. </li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbae5locationnames.htm">Use location-specific file names for commonly named files for DDM</a></strong><br />
When multiple servers are involved in a network, naming DDM files with location-specific file names can reduce confusion about which target server is being accessed for a file that has a commonly used name.</li>
