We use data areas occasionally, but not heavily.

Hi guys,
we just had a discussion about using data areas.
In my opinion they are not heavily used or needed.

I either create a table/physical file or store the information in global
variables in a specific service program. The data within these global
variables is set and retrieved by calling procedures.

I'm just curious, are you using data areas (heavily) or not?
