i 'm new to as/400.in an interview i was asked this
question.give a practical example for passing information or
data through local data area.
I know only that data area is an object used to store tiny
bits of data or it can store one value at a time and it is
used to store frequently changing values or datas.thats all
i know about data area can any one tell me how local data
area and user defined data area are used to pass data
between jobs with a example or coding.thanks in advance.

Answer Posted / sameer

Every job has an *LDA created by the system. To see the
*LDA of your current session you logged in - DSPDTAARA *LDA.
You can pass the same to other's job LDA by psssing it as
parameter of the program of the job we are calling. This
way informaton floats between different jobs.
