Create a file using data description specifications (DDS)
Use these steps to create a file using DDS.
To create a file using DDS, follow these steps:
Complete the DDS form.
Type the source statements into a source file. The source file
can be part of the database
(in a source physical file such as the IBM-supplied QDDSSRC in library QGPL)
or it can be on diskettes.
Create the file using the appropriate CL command.
Note: Using the screen design aid (SDA) utility, you can create and
test display files without coding DDS directly, using only the functions that
apply to display files. See the ADTS for AS/400®: Screen Design Aid manual
on the V5R1 Supplemental Manuals Web site.
