Re: FTP Externally Described Files

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

Why do people refer to the definitions in an externally described file 
as DDS?  I thought DDS was source specifications.  I've worked with people 
who wouldn't look at the DSPFFD, or similar utilities - even if the DDS 
had been deleted.  Also, I've created many files with SQL instead of DDS, 
(although I am rethinking that strategy).

Hmm.. if setting the mode to binary doesn't work...

First save it to a SAVF with TRGRLS(*V4R3M0) (target
release).  Then FTP that, and restore it on the other side.

Why you're loosing the DDS, I don't know.
