IMHO, using FRCDTA should always be preferred over DFRWRT(*NO) for two
reasons:
1. DFRWRT affects the whole file, whereas FRCDTA affects only one record
format. This allows other record formats to continue with deferred
writing, which performs much better.
2. FRCDTA is a DDS keyword that goes into the source code. DFRWRT is a
keyword on the CRTDSPF command that must be remembered each time it is
compiled. This can be a big issue if you don't have some sort of build
tool to build your projects, or use a tool like SDA to compile screens,
because its really easy to forget to set the compile parameters. Since
FRCDTA is in the source code, there's nothing to forget.

But you have to specify DFRWRT(*NO) on the CRTDSPF command. The default is
DFRWRT(*YES). When writes are deferred, Workstation Data Management waits
for a read of the display file before it actually writes it to the
screen--DFRWRT(*NO) will override this and should allow you to do what
you're after.
