We still use the LDA for one system on our machine. The application system
doesn't allow passing of parms from the INTERACTIVE program to the BATCH
program, so the LDA is used. But of course we could handle this
predicament with a controlling CL and not allow the application handle the
INTERACTIVE and BATCH programs. But it's always been done that way.
I've never worked on the /36... I guess I could still be considered a
newbie (V5R1 earliest I worked on).

I haven't used the LDA since the advent of PARM. Primarily because of
Barbara's concerns.
Is there anyone, who hasn't worked on a S/36 or a S/34, who uses the LDA?
When it really gets to be a hoot is when you have two applications, let's
say one is from ERP vendor "A" and one is from accounting vendor "B" and
you write interface programs between the two of them. Too bad they all
didn't get together and come up with stringent industry standards on the
use of LDA. (Actually, neither package uses it either. Just pointing
that out as a possible nightmare scenario.)

Something I've always wondered: How do you know what section of the LDA
you are free to use? How can you be sure that no other program in your
job is already using that section?
Me, I'd be terrified to start using the LDA, especially on a system
where the use of the LDA was common in applications. I wouldn't know
when to stop testing whether I had messed anything else up.
