System/36 client and server considerations for DDM

Before an IBM® i operating system can access files on a System/36 platform, Level 1.0 of the DDM architecture must be installed on the System/36. These topics contain information that applies when an IBM i is the client or server system communicating with a System/36.

DDM-related differences between IBM i and System/36 files
Because of differences between the types of files supported by IBM i and System/36, several items need to be considered when DDM is used between these two systems.
System/36 client to IBM i server considerations for DDM
When System/36 is using DDM to communicate as a client system to access files on an IBM i server system, the information in this topic applies and should be considered.
IBM i client to System/36 server considerations for DDM
When the IBM i operating system is using DDM to communicate as a client system to access files on a System/36 server system, the information in this topic applies and should be considered.
Override considerations to System/36 for DDM
When a file override is issued on the IBM i to get records in a logical file on a System/36, the results might be different than expected because of the difference in how each system deals with keyed files.
