  Although WRKOBJ can verify the device file existence, that would 
not also verify the connectivity nor that the target file can be 
accessed via the DDM connection if it were successfully established. 
 Issue a request like the following, to verify the specified target 
file is accessible and has the expected access path:

   DSPFD AWDEVICE12IF *ACCPTH SYSTEM(*RMT)

  Note that the joblog from the compile should log the messages 
which log the progress of the connectivity and diagnose conditions 
which might prevent the access; including naming the target job for 
which DSPJOBLOG JOB(as_named_by_DDM_loggin) on the target system 
would show errors preventing the access of the target file.
