AREA
The number of input areas.
If you specify AREA with the checkpoint restart option of the Unload function, AREA is internally replaced with the number of areas that are to be reprocessed.
value
Specify a value in the range of 1 - 9999. Specify a value less than or equal to the number of input areas. If you specify a value that is greater than the number of input areas, the value is replaced by the number of input areas.

For the CHANGE command in the REORG mode, the following value is set:

(ITASKCTL + OTASKCTL)/2 (the value is rounded off)
When this parameter is specified with the checkpoint restart option of the Unload function, and when value is larger than the number of areas to be reprocessed, value is internally replaced with the number of the areas that are to be reprocessed.
