To import OS400 physical file definitions

Restriction: This topic applies only when the AppMaster Builder AddPack has been installed, and applies only to Windows platforms.
  1. In the OS400 environment, type ddsextr on the command line and press PF4 to execute the DDS Extract utility. The DDSEXTR screen appears. Execute the utility once for each file you want to import.
  2. Complete the fields on the DDSEXTR window. Press F1 for help on an individual field.
  3. Transfer the extracted file to the PC into the project\OS4FILE directory.
Note:
  • Be sure that the name of the file you transfer is the same as the data view name with no extension.
  • Be sure the database targets assigned to the application reflect the OS4 target.
