DDS concepts
To create a file using DDS, follow these steps:
- Complete the data description specifications (DDS)
form.
- Type the source statements into a source
file. The source file can be part of the OS/400 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
create-file 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.
