Testing the Results

Steps

1. After you compile the map, you can test the results using the DC/UCF system task, SHOWMAP, as shown:

       V81  ENTER NEXT TASK CODE:
        showmap chrmemp1
   

2. When the map displays, place the cursor anywhere on the map and press the PF key defined for help for the map:

                        EMP-ID
                                          #   <--{cursor}
   
                        EMP-FIRST-NAME
   
                        EMP-LAST-NAME
   
                        EMP-STREET
   
                        EMP-CITY
   
                        EMP-STATE
   
                        EMP-ZIP-FIRST-FIVE
   
                        EMP-PHONE
   
                        STATUS
   
   
   
        NEXT RESPONSE
   

3. Help will be displayed as described as follows:
   • If the cursor is on a field for which field-level help has been defined, or is an occurrence of a field for which field-level help has been defined, field-level help is displayed
   • For all other fields and other areas of the map, map-level help is displayed

                          MAP-EMP-ID
     
     
                          MAP-EMP-FIRST-NAME
     
                          MAP-EMP-LAST-NAME
     
                          MAP-EMP-STREET
     
                          MAP-EMP-CITY
