 >> However, I can not define a data area in a sub-procedure (this also makes
sense).
You can't define it IN the subprocedure (i.e. local data) but you CAN define it
in the Global portion of the source.
Like so:
     D Proc            Pr
     D MyDataArea      S             50    DtaAra(MyDataArea)
     P Proc            B
     D                 PI
     C     MyDataArea    Dsply
     C                   Return
     P                 E
