Of cause REAL programmers like you and me dont use FMTDTA. Last time I
coded this tricky QFMTSRC-source was on a s/38.

But I must admit that I two months ago replaced an OPNQRYF whith this
I-don't-know-where-it-comes-from front-end command SRTFIL. Some REAL
customers can't justify a new 740 when they can pay me for half an hours
work once in order to cut two/three hours of their weekly reporting (each
week).

Sorry, but it IS fast!
