MAP

Displays a screen that identifies the current layout or lists the layouts in the custom layout. You can use this command to change layout conditions.

You can also use the MAP command to take the following actions:

• Specify a record offset value at the layout level in a custom layout (CRL).
• Designate a layout field as the start of the description for a data record using line action LS.

The results of the MAP command vary based on the type of layout used in the current session.

The MAP command displays the layout. You can update the conditions to exclude or apply conditions to the fields. The updated conditions are applied to the data set when you exit the Layout Entry Field Update screen.

Copybook containing multiple layouts

The MAP command displays a list of the layouts in the copybook. You can update the conditions to exclude or apply conditions to the fields. The updated conditions are applied to the data set when you exit the Layout Selection screen.

Custom layout member

The MAP command displays a list of the layouts. Select a layout to display the current exclusions and conditions and to optionally update the conditions. The updated conditions are applied to the data set when you exit the Custom Record Layout Member Update screen. You cannot insert or delete a layout from the CRL or save any changes to the CRL.
