SQL from one AS/400 to another using a DDM file

Can I the the following SQL statements:

runsql 'select * from LIB1/DDMfile1 '                     

if DDMfile1 is a DDM file pointing to another AS/400?

I thought that DDM files allow a remote file appear to be a local file to a
program.

Any ideas on a work-around??

Thanks!


I receive the following error:
