The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Doug,
You can change the DFRWRT parameter with CHGDSPF so you don't need source to change the value. Also, I'm not sure that FRCDTA was always available so I'm showing my age.
I do remember this used to cause problems with remote devices over a slow communications line. If you deferred the writes it would take forever to update the screen when you did do EXFMT. Changing to DFRWRT would get the data moving out to the terminal ASAP and improve display performance but at the cost of flickering on the display.

Paul:
Look at the DFRWRT parameter on the CRTDSPF command.
I prefer the FRCDTA keyword at the record format level, instead of DFRWRT at
the display file level. It allows you to keep the benefits of the default
defer write paradigm other than the specific format(s) used for feedback
when you are not enabling input yet.
It also does not require giving it on the CRTDSPF command, for those not
using change control or other automated compilation means.
Just my .02,
