RE: RTVDDMF?

H Matt

Last time I looked at this on V5R4 I came up with the same answer you have.

I couldn't find an API or an outfile to get the required DDM data either.

I think the approach I ended up considering was to do a DSPDDMF for the
specific file to spool and then read that.

Subject: RTVDDMF?

Does anyone know of a method to retrieve the remote location name from a

DDM

file?

Display Details of DDM File

Local file:
File . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : CPICN1
Library . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : FTPOBJ

Remote file . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : LIBR/CPICANC

Remote location:
Name or address . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : systemd



I have a simple command that checks the DDM connection to a specific

system.

It tries to open a generic file on the remote system and if it fails,

returns

an error message. I would like to be able to extract the system name from

an

existing DDM file then call the CHKDDMCON command passing that system

name.

It looks like I could to a DSPFD on the DDM file then extract the remote
location name from the output, but am looking for something that already

does

it. I looked at the QDBRTVFD api, but it doesn't look like that

information is

returned.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Matt Hopkins
