Re: LDA Question

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The LDA is just a chunk of memory that gets passed from program
to program (or you can think of it this way anyway).

The LDA can be formattted anyway the program(s) that use it wish
to format it.  It can be formatted as one big string, an array, strings
and arrays, character, numberic, whatever.

Looking in any program that uses the LDA should explain to you how
to use it.  You declare a Data structure as LDA, and define how the
memory is mapped inside of it, just like you would any Data Structure
in the D specs.

If you need to know what positions are defined in the LDA you will need
to look at whatever program is putting information into the LDA.  If someone
wrote PGMA and you are writing PGMB to use the LDA set up by PGMA,
you are going to have to go to PGMA and look.
