Re: FMTDTA

Tracy,

>Ohhhhh!!  ...  I didn't remember it being called FMTDTA!  

It was called #GSORT on the S/3, S/32, S/34, and S/36.  On the S/38, the command
wrapper around the program was named FMTDTA in keeping with S/38 naming
conventions.

FMTDTA was great for migrating S/3 or S/3x code to the S/38, and until
ALWCPYDTA(*OPTIMIZE) was added to OPNQRYF, it could outperform queries in the
right circumstances.

I consider it mostly a legacy support issue now, but I can see potential in
unusual circumstances like Joel's "random" record sorting.
