To allocate index local buffers, you specify in the -i option of the pdlbuffer operand the name of the index (authorization-identifier.index-identifier) for which the index local buffer is to be allocated.

To allocate data local buffers, you specify in the -r option of the pdlbuffer operand the name of the RDAREA for which the data local buffer is to be allocated.

The following are examples of local buffer definitions:

pdlbuffer -a localbuf01 -r RDAREA01,RDAREA02 -n 1000  1
pdlbuffer -a localbuf02 -i USER01.INDX01 -n 1000      2

Explanation:

1. Allocates data local buffers to two RDAREAs, RDAREA01 and RDAREA02.
2. Allocates an index local buffer to index USER01.INDX01.
