 *LDA error message -”DtaAra already defined”
Data Area, LDA, RPG III
Hi, I am trying to fetch data from *LDA. So that I coded like [strong]*DtaAra Define *LDA LDA [/strong]and then compile the program. But the compiler throw me an error says that [strong]“DtaAra already defined”. [/strong]When I search the string DtaAra and LDA in the source, I am not found any occurrences other than my logic. What could be the possible reason(s) for this error? How to overcome this issue?

When I search the string DtaAra and LDA in the source…

And what does the cross-reference list show from the compile? Searching source might be misleading. /COPY and/or /INCLUDE and possibly other elements can modify source at compile-time.

Search for UDS .. a data structure of type U opens the LDA during the intialization cycle and closes it during end of processing.
