Take a look at DDM. You can create DDM files for each of the logicals
that point at the real logicals on the production machine. Of course,
this defeats the security of the production system (well it doesn't
defeat it, you still can't do anything you're not authorized to, but
you'd be surprised of the number of "super secured" machines I've worked
on that were not all that secure).

Hello and Happy "belated" D-Day....lest we ever forget.
---------
Here's my question, and feel free to call me a lazy b*st*rd....
I am working on a LARGE program that produces a large critical report.
Now this program uses about 30 files, 22 of which are logicals that are
built over various and sundry physical files.  6 of the files are major
join files that bring together the data of multiple physical files
around the production system.  Now, I work on a developement machine
(hardly any security) that is seperate from the production environment
(super secured environment) (passthru is the way we can access the
different systems) this developement machine has bits and pieces of the
actual types of data that reside on the production machine... but of
course the data would have to be recreated on the developement machine
for me to be able to test the program properly.  Is my only alternative
to just slug it out and collect all these physical file pieces and parts
and then SNDNETF them to the developement machine into my test library
and then recreate the logicals that will connect the physical file
pieces and parts as well as the join files?  Any other suggestions?
I guess..... I should just sit down for a week and write a program that
will automatically produce any type of needed data samplings.... Is this
what you nice people are  gonna suggest?
