Input Modules for Mapin Operations

When performed on input, a user-written edit module determines how data is prepared prior to storage. The module receives data from a map field or from automatic editing. The following considerations affect the coding of input modules:

• Format of data received and output by input modules
• Parameters passed to input modules
• Macros available for input modules

Each of these topics is discussed separately, followed by an example of a user-written edit module for mapin operations.
