What is a Pageable Map?
A pageable map is a map that can contain unlimited occurrences of a set of map fields. Each occurrence of the set of fields is called a detail occurrence.
A pageable map can contain more detail occurrences than can fit on the terminal operator's screen at one time. The runtime system stores detail occurrences sequentially in the order in which they are created by pageable map commands and divides them into pages based on the number of occurrences that can fit on the terminal operator's screen. One page of occurrences can be displayed on the screen at any one time.
Example of a Pageable Map
For example, a pageable map might display information about a department and list all the employees within the department. The set of map fields related to employee information occurs once for each employee to be listed. These detail occurrences of employee information are created at runtime by pageable map commands and can be displayed to the terminal operator one page at a time.
