Chris,
I believe that VaRPG does use DDM under the covers to access files on the
iSeries (hence the command QCMDDDM for file overrides), but the programmer
does not have to explicitly create a DDM file.  Just define the server and
file under Server -> Define AS400 Information... and define the file in your
F specs.

I agree that it is a pretty cool dev tool!  I jump on every opportunity to
use VaRPG instead of green screens.

Yes, you can use the IFS to host the applications.  (But you might want to
test it a couple of different ways to see what performs best in your
environment.)

Oh, so what your saying, Scott, is that I don't need to use DDMFs because I
can have more than one server? It's starting to look like a pretty cool dev
tool! I was just reading about how you can use the 400's IFS to host the
applications. I'll be interested to see if that'll really work!!! ha ha

Thanks for the input, Scott.
