And I even overlooked a note to myself telling me to be careful of that. Are there second-level dependent FMIDs? Kccnnnn? >Why does order matter?

Just curious and trying to contrast with ASSIGN >statements in RECEIVE processing where order is unimportant. > Perhaps even more relevant is the ordering among PREs and SUPs of PTFs, where order of SYSMODs in SMPPTFIN under a single APPLY command doesn't matter.
