DDM stands for Distribution Data Management. It is used to synchronize between 2 AS/400 Systems. The command used to create DDM File is
CRTDDMF filename System New filename.
Eg. CRTDDMF F0911 A F0911A
CRTDDMF F0911 B F0911B
The advantage is if a file (F0911) is updated in System A then the changes should be reflected in the file in System B.
