Output Modules for Mapout Operations

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

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

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