TPFDF Product Highlights

TPFDF Features

The TPFDF Distributed Data Access (TPFDF/DDA) optional feature lets you propagate data from a TPFDF database to a DATABASE 2 database using structured query language (SQL) statements. You can collect the SQL data from one or more TPFDF files and from one or more fields in each file.

The database administrator must define (in the DBDEF macro) a file to use the DDA feature. The data propagation is transparent to the TPFDF application program.

See The TPFDF/Distributed Data Access (DDA) Feature for more information about the the TPFDF/DDA feature.

DFGDS
To share TPFDF data with an MVS system.
