Greg,
The DSPFFD command should give you sufficient information about the files to be able to create new DDS.

Subject: how to recreate PF-DTA objects
Weird situation.. I have these "objects" on our system that is used by our ERP... they are PF-DTA object that are used for nothing more than to see if a process is running.
When the process is started, it locks the object... when it ends, it unlocks.
This batch process basically runs all the time - so we don't try to backup these files... there are about 40 of them.
Each file has one field of length 1
I need to recreate them on a new box. I don't have the DDS, so I was just going to get the SQL definitions using ACS and recreate them. But the SQL Database manager doesn't "see" them (even if I look under "All Database Objects" in the Schemas view.
Any ideas?
