Syntax options:

    CDD LINKS | NO CDD LINKS

    Determines whether the IMPORT statement tries to reestablish
    links between database definitions originally based on repository
    definitions (domains and tables created with the FROM path name
    clause) and their sources in the repository.

    The default depends on whether or not the IMPORT statement
    specifies the PATHNAME option. If the IMPORT statement does
    specify PATHNAME, the default is CDD LINKS; if it does not
    specify PATHNAME, the default is NO CDD LINKS.

    The CDD LINKS option specifies that the IMPORT statement tries
    to reestablish repository links even if you do not specify
    the PATHNAME option. If you specify CDD LINKS and the database
    repository definition on which a database definition was based
    does not exist, the IMPORT statement generates a warning message.

    The NO CDD LINKS option specifies that the IMPORT statement
    does not establish data repository links even if you specify
    the PATHNAME option. Specify NO CDD LINKS if you are using the
    IMPORT statement to rebuild a database on a different system.
