Re: system-wide configuration for system SORT?

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.

List,

Is there a way to configure the system SORT (FMTDTA?) concerning defaults,
etc?

For example, on the mainframe, I have our SORT configured such that every
sort, whether it be in-stream or from a COBOL program, gets a 4MB dataspace
(memory area) for its primary work area. Only after that space is exhausted
does it begin to use disk for sort-work. I would like to see if there are
options like that supported in FMTDTA. I've been searching the archives and
the iSeries Information Center but can't find where default settings for
SORT can be configured. Surely there is a way to do this isn't there? TIA
