Real-Time Disk Formatter

Use the real-time disk formatter (FMTR) to prepare all direct access storage devices for system use. (See TPF Migration Guide: Program Update Tapes for a list of supported devices.) For all devices, this program formats any specified track up to the maximum cylinder and track values specified for the particular device type.

This program is run under MVS system control. It is assembled and run as a normal MVS job.
