You can't use SQL directly against a DDM file, but you can do a
CONNECT to the remote database, and then you can do all the selects
and stuff. You'll need to ADDRDBDIRE entry on the remote system.

Morning all
On one system (system A), I have a DDM file connecting to another system (system B)
I have to pull data from this DDM file on system A, but when attempting this in STRSQL, I get the message
File not table, view, or physical file.
Which is true
I have attempted to use an OVRDBF with the same result
I have used CPYF and copied this DDM file to another file and was able to use this CPYF file, but I was wondering if anyone had found a way to use SQL against a DDM file?
As always, all responses MUCH appreciated
