Modifying a Map Using MAPC › Step 5: Recompile the Map

Step 5: Recompile the Map

By using MAPC screens, you modified map XXXMAP by adding new map fields and changing existing fields. You now need to create an updated load module for the map. You compile the XXXMAP map as shown:

 Command ===>
 Enter  F1=Help  F3=Exit  F10=Action

To compile the application, position the cursor on the Compile item on the action bar and press [Enter]. You can position the cursor on Compile by:

• Tabbing to Compile and pressing [Enter]
• Pressing [PF10] to move to the action bar and then tabbing to Compile and pressing [Enter]
• Typing compile on the command line and pressing [Enter]

Once you have displayed the Compile action item, press [Enter] to compile the map.

When you press [Enter] to recompile the map, MAPC displays messages to indicate whether the map load module recompiled successfully.

• If the map recompiled successfully, MAPC a confirming message.
• If the map could not be recompiled, MAPC displays an error message. In this case, read the message to determine the problem. After correcting the errors, try again to recompile the map.

Exit from MAPC

After you successfully compile your map, you can exit from MAPC by using the Switch activity on the Main Menu screen. In this example, you use Switch to transfer directly to ADSC to associate modified map XXXMAP with dialogs that use the map:

In this example, ADSCT is the sample task code for ADSC.

Note: You cannot use the switch action unless you entered MAPC using the transfer control facility task code (MAPCT).
