SHOWMAP System Task Usage

Use SHOWMAP only for map

The SHOWMAP task is specifically designed for use with maps. You should not use the SHOWMAP command to load a program that is not a map. To prepare a nonmap program for execution, use the DCMT VARY DYNAMIC PROGRAM command. For example, to load program AABAT, you enter:

V55 ENTER NEXT TASK CODE: CA IDMS release nn.n tape volser node nodename dcmt vary dynamic program aabat

Using a new copy of a modified map

If a map changed since you last executed it, you may need to issue a DCMT VARY PROGRAM command to instruct DC/UCF to load a new copy of the map. This occurs when the system generation OLM statement specifies that NEW COPY IS NO (the default).

For example, if you issue a SHOWMAP command for MAP1 and then modify MAP1, you can instruct DC/UCF to load a new copy of the map by entering:

V55 ENTER NEXT TASK CODE: CA IDMS release nn.n tape volser node nodename dcmt vary program map1 new copy
