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 AS/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:
- Through the screen design aid (SDA) utility, display files can be created and
tested without coding DDS directly, using only the functions that apply to
display files. See the ADTS for AS/400:
Screen Design Aid book.
