RE: Local Data Area question

I have done just what you are trying to do.  The easiest way I found, was 
to replace the Screen-file definitions with the definitions of a flat file 
to get the input to the program.  Instead of reading the screen, I had to 
read the flat file into the same 'screen workarea', which already existed. 
 Then, in the program, I could use all the fields as if they came from a 
screen.  The writes back to the screen had to dissapear, of course.  I had 
to write to a list, file  or display to the joblog, if necessary. 



PS.: Dataareas can be accessed from both on-line and batch-programs.  No 
difference!

 
Mvh.
