Re: system-wide configuration for system SORT?

["Michael Ryan" <michaelrtr@xxxxxxxxx>]

I don't think so, but you could create your own command (SORT?) that
encapsulates FMTDTA with the defaults that you want. You could also
call that custom command FMTDTA, but then you would need to put it in
a library that's higher than QSYS in the system portion of the library
list. You can also use CHGCMDDFT to change the defaults for the
FMTDTA command, but then you need to re-do that when you upgrade the
OS. I would choose option 1 myself.
