The Generated DDS source file
The Export to Display File process starts by analyzing the Mobile Display File and extracting the record formats and the fields in the records. A DDS source file is created using this information. The DDS file contains only the necessary information required for the RPG program to run correctly. This means that information pertaining to the screen, like string constants, will not appear in the DDS file. Also, DDS keywords that may not have been there before are now part of the DDS source.
In particular, the ASNA Mobile RPG OAR interface requires the INDARA keyword (shown below). INDARA is needed so I/O operations can pass all indicators in a buffer regardless of the record used in the I/O operation. Otherwise, only those indicators used by the record in the DDS are passed. This is required since the export process can not extract all of the indicator usage, which would make the indicator information for each record incomplete.

The ASNA Mobile RPG OAR interface also requires the definition of all the indicators so they are defined and available for the RPG program, otherwise the program may fail to compile. This is achieved via the IASNAMOBILE record (shown below), which is automatically generated in the export process and requires no action on the part of the RPG programmer.

Example:
The rest of the DDS source is simply the record and field definitions along with their row and column placement, overlay information, subfile declarations, and cursor location fields as shown in the following example, which also shows the INDARA and IASNAMOBILE record.
