Housekeeping

To define the map to the precompiler at compile time, and to establish addressability to DC at run time, you must perform certain mapping mode housekeeping functions:

• Identify the map you want to use by including a MAP SECTION (COBOL), a DECLARE MAP statement (PL/I), or the MAP parameter in the @INVOKE statement (Assembler).
• Copy the map request block (MRB) and the map records by including compiler-directive statements in program variable storage.
• Establish addressability between DC and the MRB by issuing a BIND MAP statement.
• Establish addressability to map records by issuing a BIND MAP RECORD statement for each record defined for the map.
