Title: RE: how to get data area in Cobol?

You have to define it in special names for example
LOCAL-DATA IS my-data-area ?
Then you
ACCEPT WS-company FROM my-data-area FOR "DACOMPANY".
Thanks

Subject: how to get data area in Cobol?

Any idea why this doesnt work in v4.4?
I am trying to retrieve the data area DACOMPANY and place the contents into ws-company.
Compiler error msg is:
* 720 MSGID: LNC1326 SEVERITY: 30 SEQNBR: 021000
Message . . . . : 'DATA-AREA' not defined name. Statement or clause ignored.

Thanks!
Accept ws-company from data-area for 'DACOMPANY'.
