Building Fields

CA ADS and Data Manipulation Language (DML) statements that build individual detail occurrences from stored values or operator modifications are as follows:

Language	Option/Clause
CA ADS	PUT DETAIL statement
COBOL or PL/I	MAP OUT DETAIL statement
Assembler	#MREQ OUT DETAIL=YES statement

How it Works

The header and footer areas of the map are stored in the scratch area and are built automatically when the first PUT DETAIL command is executed. As a result, any modifications to the header or footer are ignored after that point.

As the program runtime system builds detail occurrences for a pageable map, it stores the occurrences sequentially in the order in which they are created.
