3. Procedures for Application System Area
This section describes procedures that can only be executed in the system area not in a shadow
area. In general any procedure that creates a new directory must be executed in the system
area. This includes:
" New application directories
" New IOC directories
" New database directories within an application
It is up to the application developer to notify the application system manager of any new
structures to be introduced.
Any <EDIT> commands shown in this chapter could also be executed in a shadow area but it
is often easier to perform them in the system area.
