re:how to create files in DDL format on Iseries

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

I believe that DDL stands for Data Definition Language.  Which means that 
instead of using DDS, which is proprietary to the iSeries you can use the 
traditional SQL.  Therefore you can use statements like
Create Table Customer
     ( CustID     Dec(    7,0 ) Not Null,
       Name       Char(  30   ),
  Primary Key( CustID ) )

There are several methods of storing these scripts.
1)  Don't.  Run it on the fly.  You can always restore or copy the file.
2)  Use iSeries Navigator
3)  Store them in a member in a file and use RUNSQLSTM
...

For more information check out the manual "SQL Reference" available at:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/html/as400/infocenter.html

Or the book "SQL/400 Developer's Guide" by Paul Conte and Mike Cravitz

Does anybody know how to create database files in DDL format on Iseries?
Any link, or documentation would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help.
