Map-Paging Sessions

What is a Map-paging Session?

When a CA ADS dialog or an application program uses a pageable map at runtime, a map-paging session takes place. CA ADS dialog or application program commands build and display detail occurrences for map pages during a map-paging session. The operator can update information in data fields and can access different map pages by pressing control keys or specifying page numbers.

The fields in a detail occurrence are defined once when the map is created. At runtime, these fields are repeated as many times on a page as possible to fill the detail area. Each repetition of the detail occurrence represents a record occurrence.

For example, the following screens contrast the definition and run time detail occurrences for a pageable map:

• At definition time, the fields in the detail area are associated with dictionary elements or with system-supplied fields.
• At runtime, commands in the CA ADS dialog premap process or the application program move stored data to the appropriate work record elements before displaying the map. When the map is displayed, the variable field associated with WK-ID-0415 displays the identification number of a different employee in each detail occurrence. Each detail occurrence displays information about the particular employee identified in the WK-ID-0415 field.
