RE: data area

Right before the DS...

>From the manual...
Local Data Area (*LDA): If you specify blanks for the data area data
structure
(positions 7 through 21 of the definition specification that contains a
U in position
23), the compiler uses the local data area. To provide a name for the
local data
area, use the *DTAARA DEFINE operation, with *LDA in factor 2 and the
name in
the result field or DTAARA(*LDA) on the definition specification.
