RE: DDM equivalent using FTP

You can continue using DDM.  DDM will function over IP just fine at V4R4 and
above as far as I know.  V4R3 and below may pose some difficulties, but I
think there are ptf to allow DDM over IP.  You'll have to check with your
IBM rep.

You can always switch to DRDA and use SQL to access your remote system.

Subject: DDM equivalent using FTP


I need to read records from a remote AS/400, and mark each record as
processed.  Currently we use an RPG program on a local system to read
records through a DDM file providing a path to a logical file on a remote
system.

I can no longer use DDM because of company restrictions to move away from
SNADS.

Is there an equivalent AS/400 method to accomplish this with TCP or FTP,
giving record level access to a remote file?

PS The remote file expands hundreds of times throughout the day, and I need
to pull all new records from the remote file.

Thanks!
