Rich,
I agree that a data area unique to the job (without the usual create and
cleanup) can be a handy thing.
If your use is for a tool that could be within a user's job, that may be a
problem in that they could be using the data area...
Given that much of the corporate world is a mixed bag of new and old code,
in a OS that is rare to drop support of something,
All things are possible, but if the job is your job - why not? ..imho.

A great tool PROVIDED that you are still using Hollerith cards on a system
with very little memory and you are working at a museum of old computer
technology.
Otherwise don't use the LDA.

I'm just interested to hear if anyone uses the local data area these

where it would be helpful to use the local data area, but I'm
wondering if I would step on someone's toes in the process.
