Define MAP Records to the SDT

Use the ADDTO command to define new map records. The MAPREC keyword is required when adding a MAP record to the SDT Record.

To define a new MAP record to the SDT, enter the command:

TSS ADDTO(SDT) MAPREC(map‑name) 
               DESCRIPT(descript‑name)
               MAPDATA(field‑definition)

MAPREC

Specifies a user‑defined record ID that must be unique for each MAP record. The name can contain letters, numbers, and special characters.

Size: 8 characters

DESCRIPT

Designates an optional user‑description field that is used as a logical name for this record. If the description field contains blanks, you must enclose it in single quotes.

Size: 32 characters

MAPDATA

Specifies the layout of this screen field. You can specify up to five fields on each MAPDATA keyword. Each field‑definition operand consists of five sub‑fields:

• fld‑name—Specifies an up to 24‑character field name unique to this MAP record. The name can consist of letters, digits, or national characters and can be qualified with periods (.), underscores (_), or hyphens (‑).
• type—Indicates the field type. Replace type with one of these values: CHAR (character), BIN (binary), PACKED, ZONED, or HEX (hexadecimal).
• row—Specifies a numeric row for this data field.
• column—Specifies a numeric column for this data field.
• length—Specifies the length of this data field (optional).

Examples: define a MAP record

This example creates a MAP record called ENG1 in the SDT:

TSS ADDTO(SDT) MAPREC(ENG1)

This example adds a MAPDATA field to the MAP record ENG1 that contains a salary field called PAY which is in binary format in the fifth row and sixth column, and has a length eight characters:

TSS ADDTO(SDT) MAPREC(ENG1)
               MAPDATA(PAY,BIN,5,6,8)
