SQL/DDS/DDL

CA 2E provides two methods for generating files:

• SQL, IBM’s SAA common programming interface for database access on all SAA platforms.
• DDS, the database access method native to the IBM i platform.

The YSYSDBF system value sets the default database access method. Model value YDBFGEN defaults to the system value. Parameter DBFGEN lets you override the value for YDBFGEN to *DDS or *SQL for a particular model.
