Answer Wiki:
The LDA is a unique data area attached to a job Type DSPDTAARA to see the one attached to your job. The CL programs can use or change values in that data area with the RTVDTAARA or CHGDTAARA The RPG or RPGLE programs can use the local data area and or change it. Here is info on RPGLE http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/index.jsp?topic=/books_web/c0925086670.htm Phil

One handy feature of the LDA is that it is copied to a submitted job. By that I mean that when job A submits job B, the LDA in job B is a duplicate and separate copy of job A’s LDA. At this point job B can change the LDA without effecting job A’s LDA.

Warning: Some systems use the LDA to submit parms to a called program. We find this to be unreliable.
