The way that data gets transferred from the screen to your program is that
your program issues a READ from the record that has the data stored in it.
(EXFMT is combination WRITE/READ operation)

Since it doesn't appear that you ever read data from FKEYSORTRECORDFORMAT,
it'll never be visible to your program.

Try performing a READ operation on the FKEYSORTRECORDFORMAT...
