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

Slay the CL beast!

Yes we do use RUNSQL on occasion here.  However, you've outgrown it.
You need to do the following
- WRKRDBDIRE and make sure local and remote systems are defined on each 
other.
- Convert the CL to a HLL, (my preference is RPG)
- Instead of using DDM do a CONNECT TO... first
- Then do the desired SQL

Understand?

Subject
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:
