The different types of Data Areas are general data area, local data area, group data area, pip (program initialization parameter data area) data area.

*General Data Area - It can be created by user implicitely or explicitly

It can be referred by any other jobs.
It can be associated with a library.
It can be created, deleted by the user.

* Local Data Area - It can not be referred by any other job.

It is automatically created and deleted by the system.
