Use this record-level keyword to clear the buffer when there is no more data to send, without waiting for the buffer to become full.
There is no wait for confirmation. (The CONFIRM keyword provides similar function but additionally provides confirmation of data sent. Your program must wait for the response from the other end before continuing to the next program statement.)

The FRCDTA keyword is ignored at run time when any of the following
keywords is in effect:
DETACH

You cannot specify FRCDTA with the TIMER keyword.
The FRCDTA keyword can be specified at most once per record format.
Option indicators are valid for this keyword.
