Hi Birgitta,

We use a few Data Areas (about 30 or so).

Mostly for tracking the last number used in a sequence.

It seems better and faster than storing it in a file.



Thanx,

Nick

Hi guys,



we just had a discussion about using data areas.

In my opinion they are not heavily used or needed.

I either create a table/physical file or store the information in global
variables in a specific service program. The data within these global
variables is set and retrieved by calling procedures.



I’m just curious, are you using data areas (heavily) or not?



Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards



Birgitta Hauser
