Map Definitions

Map definitions comprise a number of source statements, and are compiled to a loadable form. Map source can be kept in any convenient source library in a similar fashion to NCL procedures.

All compiled maps are lodged in the OSCNTL file that serves as the Map Library. From this library the loadable form of a map can be accessed on demand. A map is loaded only when specifically requested for use by an NCL procedure.
