AREA statement overview

The AREA statement defines an area of a Fast Path data entry database (DEDB).

At least one AREA statement is required, but as many as 2,048 AREA statements can be used to define multiple areas.

All AREA statements must be put between the DBD statement and the first SEGM statement.

The AREA statement is used for Fast Path DEDB database types only. Full-function databases use the DATASET statement instead.
