Hummmm…
Not sure I understand the question. You would define the *LDA on the “D” specs.
So, what does /FREE have to do with it?

Could you show us a couple things you tried along with any errors? A *LDA rarely has an external description at many sites and I haven’t worked where any were used in the past decade.

I have ideas and can run some tests, but it’d be easier if I knew ahead of time what won’t work and why not.

the data area is defined as Tom said in ‘D’ specs
and in used in free format with IN and OUT.

Thanks to all that answered my question. I have found that the problem was not with the LDA Definition but was due to some setup issues.
