I believe there was someone on this list a few months back that said the iSeries DRDA "driver" was what allowed the remote DRDA compliant database (including Informix) to be accessed by the CRTDDMF file so the RPG would still see and use native F specs
and opcodes and not even be aware the database was not local.
That the DDM-->DRDA---> Informix translated a CHAIN to whatever
was needed in DRDA protocol to get the record requested.

I had composed a reply to [what I infer is] that thread to suggest that there was possibly deceptive information\suggestions in that thread with the subject "Running AIX in a partition". However in composing my reply to a message by Eric DeLong, I decided it was too long after the discussion. I chose not to post a reply to such an old thread [from Feb], figuring a reply [in Apr] would just be ignored for its reference to such an old message.

I will post that reply tonight. Saving to draft messed up its formatting.
