Keyed file (KEYFIL)

IBM® i DDM supports access to keyed physical files via the DDM keyed file model.

An IBM i keyed file can have fixed-length record (RECFIX) or variable-length record (RECVAR) for storage. Once a non-IBM i source server opens a file on the IBM i target using variable-length record access, the IBM i target continues to send and receive variable-length records on all subsequent I/O operations.
