Is AS/400 to RS6000 DDM w/ DB2 possible?

[jquinlan]

I have done very little with DDM and was wondering if it's possible to update DB2 files on an RS/6000 machine using an RPG program residing on the AS/400. I would like to have DDM Files created on the AS/400 pointing to an RS/6000 box. Can you create updatable DDM files pointing between the two machines? Thanks, Jim Quinlan Clearwater, Florida

I have never used DDM to connect with an RS/6000, but if you have already created the DDM files successfully, the answer should be "yes"! The concept of DDM, is that your HLL program does not know that the data resides on a remote system. To the program, the file exists locally, and any operation performed by a HLL program on a local file is acceptable on a DDM file. This excludes security concerns, which may inhibit update capability. Dave
