DBD=
This keyword specifies the DBD that contains the areas to be processed. The DBD name must correspond to the member in the IMSACB library.
IAREA=
This keyword specifies the DEDB area names. If you omit this keyword, IAREA=*ALL is used as the default value.
area_name
FP Stand-alone DB Sensor processes the specified areas. You can specify multiple areas by surrounding the area names with parentheses and using a comma to delimit each area name. When you specify the HFPAUOWC DD and if you want to process multiple areas, specify the area names in ascending order of their area number.

You can also use certain wildcard characters to specify areas. These wildcard characters are the asterisk (*), which represents 0 - 8 characters, and the percent sign (%), which represents any single character. For example, IAREA=area* matches area, area1, area1234, and so on; IAREA=area% matches area1, area2, and so on.

n1-n2
FP Stand-alone DB Sensor processes the areas that are found in the specified range. Specify the range of areas by area numbers. n1 and n2 are area numbers, which are decimal numbers assigned sequentially to the areas within a database. The value for n1 and n2 can be in the range of 1 - 2048. n2 must be equal to or greater than n1. At least one area must exist in the specified range.
area_name1-area_name2
FP Stand-alone DB Sensor processes the areas that are found in the specified range. area_name1 and area_name2 must be specified in alphabetical order. At least one area must exist in the specified range.
*ALL
FP Stand-alone DB Sensor processes all the areas of the DEDB.
