INCLUDE IDMS (MAP_BINDS)

INCLUDE IDMS (MAP_BINDS) copies map- and map-record-specific BIND MAP statements for all maps that you specify with DECLARE MAP statements.

Syntax

Parameters

INCLUDE IDMS (MAP_BINDS)

Copies map- and map-record-specific BIND MAP statements for all maps that you specify with DECLARE MAP statements.

If your program uses a map, it requires a BIND MAP statement for the map and for each associated map record. The BIND MAP statement identifies the location of the MRB and initializes fields within the MRB. If you code the INCLUDE IDMS (MAP_BINDS) statement in your program, the DML processor automatically copies appropriate BIND MAP statements into your program. For more information on the BIND MAP statement, see BIND MAP (DC/UCF).

You must individually bind map records associated with logical records.
