RE: LDA Question

You both are right.

The mapics is really using a data area called LDA, but this is not the same
as *LDA

I wrote a program to display the 'LDA' while in the middle of a Mapics job
and saw a bunch of stuff relating to MAPICS.

Mark,

S/38 and AS/400 native versions of MAPICS do not and never have used the
system
LDA (*LDA) for anything.  MAPICS programs have data structures named "LDA",
but
if you look at where the data in them comes from, you'll find that the
program
is getting it from one of the following:
1) A passed-in program parameter named "LDA".
2) Fields in the Jobs Active (JOBACT) file which are concatenated together
into
"LDA".
3) A data area created in QTEMP for the job by MAPICS job initialization
named
"ZZLDA".
