Additional Information

- A sample SAREAS task can be found in the CVDEPROC library, member CBRMSEAS. 

- The parameter values can be used as they are noted in the "PARM=" field, with the exception of the "E=" parameter (current value of E=EAB6). 

- The value in the "E=" parameter must match the value set in the SARINIT "EASTNAM1=" parameter (default of "LEAS"). 

* For example a value of EASTNAM1=EAE0 should match EAS parameter of E=EAE0.
* Ensure that SARINIT has setting TAPEOPT=EAST,HARD,NOSOFT.
* With that, you are then able to start the SAREAS task.
