Overview

Online maps (CA ADS) and file maps (CA ADS Batch) are created and stored in the data dictionary using the CA IDMS mapping facility. Map modification commands change the copy of the map maintained for a particular dialog, not the stored map definition.

Note: For more information about maps and map attributes, see the CA IDMS Mapping Facility Guide.

Map Commands

CA ADS map commands are used to adjust maps to meet the processing requirements of individual dialogs at run time. Pageable map commands are used to create, retrieve, and modify detail occurrences of a pageable map.

The map modification and pageable map commands are summarized in the following table. Each command is presented alphabetically later in this section.
