Re: FMTDTA

Sort Utility
The sort utility supports remote file processing with DDM anywhere that it
supports local file processing for both iSeries and non-iSeries target
servers.

Generally, on the Format Data (FMTDTA) command, DDM file names can be
specified anywhere a database file name can be specified.

  a.. A DDM file name can be specified on the SRCFILE parameter, and a
member name can be specified on the SRCMBR parameter, for iSeries or
System/38 target systems. If the remote file referred to by the DDM file is
not on an iSeries server or a System/38, a member name cannot be specified.
  b.. DDM file names can also be specified on the INFILE parameter (to
access a remote file as the input file for conversion) or on the OUTFILE
parameter (to access a remote file as the output file of the conversion).
Both parameters cannot specify DDM file names at the same time.
