// There is always a local data area associated with the current IBM i job.
// It is 1024 bytes in length and is accessed using the name "*LDA". Its text
// description is "*LDA FOR JOB jobnumber/username/jobname".
// IBM i allows only read and write operations on a local data area.
/**
The LocalDataArea class represents a local data area on the system.
A local data area exists as a character data area on the system. It is
automatically associated with a job and cannot be accessed from another
job; hence, it cannot be directly created or deleted by the user.
Care must be taken when using local data areas so that the IBM i job
is not ended prematurely. When the job ends, its local data area is
automatically deleted, at which point the LocalDataArea object that
is referencing it will no longer be valid.
The following example demonstrates the use of LocalDataArea:
// Prepare to work with the system named "My400".
AS400 system = new AS400("My400");
// Create a LocalDataArea object to access
// the local data area associated with this connection.
LocalDataArea dataArea = new LocalDataArea(system);
// Clear the data area
dataArea.clear();
// Write to the data area
dataArea.write("Hello world");
// Read from the data area
String data = dataArea.read();
Note: Most of the read() and write() methods of this class automatically
convert characters between Unicode and the CCSID associated with the AS400 object.
See {@link AS400#getCcsid AS400.getCcsid()}.
