<h1 class="topictitle1">Use location-specific file names for commonly named files
for DDM</h1>
<div><p>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.</p>
<div class="section"><p>For example, for an inventory file that may be named INVEN on
multiple servers, using location-specific names such as NYCINVEN, STLINVEN,
and DALINVEN for the DDM files on the local server to access files in New
York City, St. Louis, and Dallas helps you to access the correct file.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>Using an abbreviation or code that identifies the destination
target server as part of the DDM file names makes it easier to remember where
the desired remote file is located.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>For non-<span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> remote
files that have record formats, using the same name for the DDM file as for
the record format can also be useful.</p>
