Murali:

I'd respond to more of your questions, but I have work to do first. I also need 
to subscribe in digest mode, so I can't be quick in my responses -- I try to 
review all digests to see if someone else has already answered.

But I sure don't mind your questions. New questions from new people are what we 
ought to be encouraging.

Although you have trouble using the link that Vern gave you, there might be two 
sources of information on your system. First, there is help text for the FMTDTA 
command from a command line in OS/400. Second, you can open the sort 
specifications in SEU and press <F4> to prompt each of the specification source 
lines. When they're prompted, each of the fields have help text associated with 
them. Lots of information can be taken from here. You need to open the 
specifications with a member type of 'SRT36', I think, before SEU knows how to 
prompt them and give help.

And I think you've done well in how you've tried to limit your questions 
lately. I have a hard enough time trying to read some of IBM's documentation; I 
can't imagine trying to understand it if I spoke Swahili (or your native 
language) instead of English. And I don't want to get into the issues with Info 
Center for anyone who isn't using a recent version of Internet Explorer, though 
it is vastly improved during the past six months or so.
