Also DFSORT gives you more record selection flexibility than IFASMFDP / IFASMFDL.

Micahel, Probably due to fact that IFASMFDP does not give you the option of dynamically changing the date. Tim wanted Current date - 7 days worth of data. IFASMFDP only allows you hard coded dates for DATE parameter. So Tim has to change the control cards every time he wants to run the job. With DFSORT you don't have to do it as it can automatically perform the Date Arithmetic.
