Interface work areas
Interface work areas are created only once for each
program group and shared by the
main program and its additional
loaded programs. The assignment of programs to program groups can be dependent on user actions, field
contents, and switches, which means that interface work areas are extremely error-prone, with respect to their functions and to their maintainability. The only interface work areas that can still be used for special purposes are
table work areas declared
using TABLES. The following declarations are completely obsolete:
The statement NODES (once required
for interface work areas between logical databases and executable programs) is also no longer required if you no longer work with logical databases.
