Chapter 3 - Examples 
This chapter presents a variety of examples involving the execution of maps using 
various execution commands in a 
RUN() function and from the command line in 
UNIX and Windows environments. 
Running a Map Located in a Different Directory 
From a UNIX command line, enter: 
/mercator/mercator /x12/edi.mmc -TIO -IF2!WXR5:1 dtin -OF1B 
out.txt 
Option Description 
/X12/edi.mmc 
This specifies the full path and name of the map to be 
executed. 
-TIO 
A trace file is created or all input and output objects that 
is placed in the same directory as the map and named 
using the <mapname>.mtr file naming convention. 
-IF2!WXR5:1 dtin 
This changes the source of input card #2 to be a file 
named dtin. The other adapter settings for this card 
include: 
!  Do not re-use workfiles. 
!  If the map successfully executes, delete the dtin file. 
!  If the file is not available, attempt to access it five 
more times at one-second intervals. 
-OF1B out.txt 
This changes the destination for the data from output 
card #1 to be a file named out.txt. The B option causes 
any changes to out.txt to be backed out (rolled back), if 
the map does not successfully execute. All other adapter 
settings are as compiled into the map file. 
Note  The file locations in this example are relative to the location of the compiled map 
file.
