SHOWMAP System Task

The SHOWMAP task allows you to display the format of a map on your screen. The SHOWMAP task performs the following actions:

  1. Allocates a program definition element (PDE) for the map, if necessary
  2. Loads the map load module into the appropriate program pool, if necessary
  3. Displays the map

The SHOWMAP task displays a full screen of detail occurrences for pageable maps. Since the map is displayed without program code being executed, the map does not display or allow you to add any data.
