Re: Identity_Val_Local() on a DDM File

[Mike Jones <mike.jones.sysdev@xxxxxxxxx>]

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.
