AREADIST Parameter

,AREADIST=(hpage1,hpage2,...hpage10)

AREADIST allows you to specify the high page numbers for up to 10 distribution ranges. For example, if the area started on page 1 and ended on page 100, AREADIST=(10,20,30) would represent page ranges of 1-10, 11-20, 21-30, and 31-100. These distribution ranges are used to show the spread of various physical characteristics across an area.

Default: The default ranges are 10 page ranges having equal numbers of pages. The number of pages in each range is equal to

 ( stop page  -  start page  +  1 )
                 10

Rules:

• You must enter values in numerical order from lowest to highest.
• The first entry must be equal to or greater than the number of the area start page. The last entry must be less than or equal to the number of the area stop page.
• If you enter 10 values, the tenth entry must be equal to the number of the area stop page.
• If you enter fewer than 10 values, CA IDMS/DB Analyzer inserts the number of the area stop page as an additional entry.
