Maximum Area Number specifies the highest area number available for use during the time the database is online.

If the database is expanded with PROSTRCT ADDONLINE, the area numbers specified for any new areas must be lower than the maximum area number specified with -maxAreas, or the PROSTRCT ADDONLINE command will fail.

Note: The maximum area number (-maxAreas) parameter has been deprecated as of Release 12.2 . The parameter still functions normally for older releases.
