Well, this question makes me want to rant - against IBM. In looking for the
Sort user's Guide, I see that there is not any reference to PDM in the main
InfoCenter site for V5R2. Are you kidding, IBM? If you search on FMTDTA,
all you get are references to distributed data management.
At any rate, what you want is the Sort user's Guide (Who would know who's
not been around this machine very long? - Oy!) to get to it (the link is
below) means going to InfoCenter, to iSeries supplemental manuals. This
takes you to a different window. There you need to go to the V5R1 PDFs
link, where you can find the Sort manual, as well as the PDM guide.
The link is
<http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r1/ic2924/books/c0918260.pdf>. I
think you'd be best served by digging through that, as you have done with
other stuff. I can't help, as I've never actually used FMTDTA.
What's really stupid, in my mind, is that the Application Development
Manager manuals are still directly available in InfoCenter - and these have
been officially terminated, right?
Egad!

Good Morning friends,
I have the following command in my CL
FMTDTA INFILE((&FLIB/YCP05305)) +
OUTFILE(&FLIB/YWKCP53T) +
SRCFILE(YGSC/QDDSSRC) SRCMBR(YCP05310S) +
OPTION(*NOPRT)
I know that some sorting is going on the infile
YCP05305 and producing the outfile YWKCP53T
based on the selection criteria written in the text
file YCP05310S.
when i saw this text file YCP05310S, i could see
following
HSORTR 24A 3X 83 N N
I
FNC 10 17 ACCOUNT
FNC 4 5 EXCH
FNC 2 3 FC
FNC 25 26 YEAR
FNC 23 24 MONTH
FNC 58 58 P/C
FNC 39 43 STRIKE
FNC 76 77 PROMPT DAY
FDC 1 83
Can anyone let me know how the selection criteria is
happening here in the above text file(what is this
code doing), I could not understand. Also I have seen
some folks suggesting some time back some manual on
this textfiles to read.
I request you post it again , Thanks so much for your
help! If more info is required plz ask me.
