What I quoted is not theory - it is from the DRDA specification.

I did not suggest that DDM files work with SQL or you can use DRDA from F specs. DDM is an architecture, documented in 1 of 3 manuals that are the spec for DRDA. That is what I meant by DRDA is built on DDM. These are architectures that are cross-platform - DB2 V9 (the Linux/Unix/Windows version) also discusses both topics.

Dan K and I are interpreting things a little differently, he says DDM is built on DRDA - heh. The spec looks like one could make that conclusion in some places. I've always heard (or at least remembered) that DRDA is built on DDM.

Now at V5R3 and on, it is possible to specify *RDB for the remote address - this is the first time this showed up. Dan sees that as supporting his contention that DDM uses DRDA, I think it is just another way to find where the target system is. I just verified that DDM files using that setting do not work in SQL.

We usually agree violently!!

That's interesting theory. But in practice what do you think? Can YOU use CRTDDMF files with SQL? Can you use DRDA from F specs in RPG or by whatever COBOL uses?
