Batch Compiler Coding Considerations › Compiler Statement Sequencing

Compiler Statement Sequencing

The batch compiler provides two sets of mapping language statements, as described in "Batch Compiler Statements". Each set of mapping language syntax defines source statements that create and maintain panel, panel field, map, and map field entity occurrences in the data dictionary:

• MAP AUTOPANEL and MFLD statements are used to define map and map field occurrences explicitly. Panel and panel field occurrences are generated automatically by the mapping facility when MAP AUTOPANEL and associated MFLD statements generate map and map field occurrences.
• PANEL, PFLD, MAP, and MFLD statements are used to define panel, panel field, map, and map field occurrences explicitly.

Sequencing requirements for each set of mapping language syntax are listed separately as follows.
