MAP AUTOPANEL and MFLD Statement Sequencing

A MAP AUTOPANEL statement must be followed immediately by the MFLD statements that define its related fields. The following considerations apply when the developer prepares source composed of MAP AUTOPANEL and MFLD statements:

• The map occurrence generated by the most recently executed MAP statement is established as current for subsequent MFLD statements.
• Associated panel and panel field occurrences are created when map and map field entity occurrences are generated by MAP AUTOPANEL and associated MFLD statements.

Sample Statement

The following abbreviated sample statements illustrate MAP AUTOPANEL and MFLD statement sequencing:

ADD MAP ONEMAP
    AUTOPANEL
    ADD MFLD
    ADD MFLD
    ADD MFLD
    ADD MFLD

In the previous example, entity occurrences for a map named ONEMAP and occurrences for related map fields are generated. Associated panel and panel field occurrences are generated by the batch compiler from information specified in the MAP AUTOPANEL and MFLD statements.
