Hi,
Modified Data Tag is used data transfer from a terminal to
the application program. MDT is 1 bit of attribute character.
MDT can be set CTRL=FRSET in DFHMSD will reset the MDT to
OFF(means 0), that this field is not modified.
MDT cab be set ATTRIB=FSET will reset the MDT to ON(means
1), this field is modified.

Answer / petchiammal
MDT indicates whether a field is modified or not
MDT on will ensure that data is received into the program
MDTs can be turned on by
Specifying the FSET attribute in the physical map
Setting the attribute byte to FSET in the symbolic map
Keying data into the field

Answer / mainframe.rahulz
Modified Data Tag is used in order to avoid a problem called
"MAP FAIL ERROR"
MDT is used to set the attribute field of a named field.
we can use MDT in 2 ways.
1. by using Assembler Macro.
2. By using Application program.
By using Assembler Macro
use DFHMSD CNTL=(FRSET,...
and in DFHMDF ATTRB=(FSET,...
By using Application program
MOVE DFHBMSFRS TO FIELD+F
MOVE DFHBMSFSE TO FIELD+F

how a data in physical and symbolic map gets treated? Since the physical map is much concerned about the screen alignment and the field positions, how the values entered in the field which has PICIN or PICOUT clause in Physical map gets treated? Does that mean datas recieved or sent to the physical map should be constant? How does the data in Symbolic map gets converted with 5suffix namely F,L,A,I and O. For example EMPNO is treated as EMPNOI, EMPNOO, EMPNOA, EMPNOL and EMPNOF. how does this happen in symbolic map. Please provide your inputs on the above and kindly correct me if I am wrong.
