Definition

A pageable map can map out an unlimited number of variable fields at runtime. A runtime pageable map often provides more than one page of information. The terminal operator can page through the map during a paging session to view information that does not fit on the current map page.

Note: For more information on pageable maps, see the chapter "Pageable Maps”.

The amount of storage available during a runtime paging session is specified at system generation. Storage is allocated dynamically at runtime, as needed. This appendix presents a method for determining the amount of storage to specify at system generation. It is advisable to apply this method to several actual or intended pageable maps, and to specify the largest amount of storage in the system generation program.
