Schema Statements › AREA Statement

AREA Statement

The AREA statements identify a logical area of the database. Depending on the verb and options coded, the AREA statements can also:

• Add, modify, delete, display, or punch the area description
• Determine which (if any) database procedures will be executed when the area is accessed at runtime

The schema compiler applies AREA statements to the current schema.
