Subject: DDM remote system, remote library, remote file - Asking again
I posted this message a few days ago and still can't find the solution.
For a DDM file, we want to retrieve its remote system name, remote library
and remote file name programmically within an RPG or CL program. It appears
that the "Retrieve Database File Description (QDBRTVFD)" api does not return
that information. Is there an API or system table that will give us this
information?
The only way we've found so far is to do a DSPFD to a spool file, convert it
to a DB file, then read the DB file and parse through it. This technique is
slow and tedious, so we would prefer a quicker way.
Thanks in advance,
Bob Luebbe
