for DDM</h1>
<div><p>This topic covers target considerations for DDM.</p>
<div class="section"><p>As with any database file, DDS might or might not be used to externally
describe the attributes of the remote file when it is created on the remote <span class="keyword">iSeries™ server</span>. If DDS is used, then the source
server program uses those attributes when it accesses the remote file (by
using the DDM file). If DDS is not used, then the file's attributes must be
described in the program.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>When a source server program that accesses a file on a target <span class="keyword">iSeries server</span> is compiled (or recompiled),
the existing DDM file is used to establish communications with the target
server, and the remote file is actually accessed during compilation to extract
its file and record attributes. Whether DDS is used to describe the file or
not, level check identifiers are created during compilation and are included
in the compiled program. These values are then used when the program is run
and LVLCHK(*RMTFILE) is in effect for the DDM file.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>Whether DDS is used to describe a remote <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> file or not, a source server
program can have its own field and record format definitions provided in the
program, or the program can substitute the definitions of another source server
file that is created using DDS. Either can be done if LVLCHK(*NO) is in effect
in the DDM file or specified in an <span class="cmdname">Override with Database File (OVRDBF)</span> command
used at program run time. LVLCHK(*NO) need only be used when
the record format used on the source server is different than that of the
remote <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> file.</p>
