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.
