Simone,

We ran into this challenge in our Application Monitor product. One thing you
can try doing is to do a CPYF command on the DDM file and monitor the lower
level messages for DDM and communications errors. In our monitor product we
wrote a module that actually opens the file and attempts to read a record.
If you have the right exception handlers in place you can trap DDM errors.

HTH,
Patrick
