The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
The SQL ALIAS is *implemented* using the DDMFile; i.e. that the
device file with attribute DDMF is used, is merely an implementation
detail. Regardless of its implementation, it is not a legitimate DDM
file. Non-SQL interfaces will not directly interpret an SQL ALIAS as
redirection to a local file established by the RMTFILE(), effectively
only the SQL knows how to use the ALIAS in that manner. DDM uses the
RMTFILE() to designate what file to access, and RMTLOCNAME(*LOCAL),
although there may be a *LOCAL RDB entry, there is not an SNA Remote
Location Name of *LOCAL. A CHGDDMF could potentially change the DDMF as
ALIAS, to give a remote location, but that would not be supported.
Instead, create a DDMF to point to the local file if that is desired, do
not use an SQL ALIAS to do so, unless for use by SQL [and ALIAS is not
supported in CREATE VIEW]. However AFaIK that may still not assist with
the LF, I am not sure the compiler will recognize that all targets are
the same; i.e. that the created file, and all dependents are on the
local system.
