RE: LDA Question

["Shaw, David" <dshaw@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

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".
