Hi Craig,

I've not tried that specific DDM example, but I have successfully used
IDENTITY_VAL_LOCAL() when I connected to, for example, system A, and I use
3 part SQL referencing system B involving INSERTs into a table on system
B. That is an alternative to use, and in my opinion is preferable to use,
versus the DDM route to get that done.

Hi All,

Does anyone know offhand if you can use Identity_Val_Local() on a DDM File?

I don't have the opportunity to test this at the moment but I will need to
tweak my design if not.

Specifically:

1. Client on LPAR 1 has a DDM File pointing to a file on LPAR2.
2. The file on LPAR2 has a "generated always as identity" column.
3. Client on LPAR 1 writes a record to the DDM File
4. Can the client then use identity_val_local() to retrieve the
generated column value?

Thanks kindly in advance,
Craig
