sorted into the proper order. The source specs for FMTDTA are generated on the fly. FMTDTA seems to do this well.

Dynamic SQL can certainly do the same thing as FMTDTA, although personally I'm leaving the FMTDTAs alone here. I use SQL when the situation calls for truly dynamic data, and logical files when it doesn't.

Do you have a specific situation that you couldn't work out how to use SQL instead of FMTDTA?
