Fields defined within the file (not reference fields).I decided to create a test file of the most common data types and keywords I encounter in my daily work: But I want to be able to generate DDS from the file object.

I could then use that generated DDL source and manually enter the DDS source code for the Physical file. Within the IBM i operating system there is already a way to convert a physical file object into SQL DDL source. The later stages will be covered in future posts. This post will describe the first stage of this journey, recovering the source for a physical file. First I want to be able to recover the source for a physical file, then I would move onto the more complicated arrangements found within display and printer files. I decided to go ahead and recreate the programs, in several stages. I may only use this command once in a very long time, but in the past it had proved invaluable in recovering the source for physical, display and printer files. To my horror I found the command source and object in my personal tools library, but the programs and their source were missing. When I recently found a physical file with its source missing I thought "I will just use my retrieve command". Many, many years ago I wrote a command and programs to retrieve the source code for various types of files.

In an earlier posts I showed how I could retrieve the source code from a program, but what about other object types? I am sure this has happened to us all: I have an object and the source it was compiled from is missing.
