Creating a Source Map

After the pseudo map component is defined, you can convert it into a source map

component. Pseudo maps are the only components in the IFD that allow you to

create source maps and add input and output cards.

During source map creation, you can either create a new map source file (.mms)

or select an existing map source file. Within the map source file, you can either

create a new executable map or overwrite an existing map.

To create a source map from a pseudo map

Before creating a source map, you must first add at least one output card with a

valid type and type tree to the pseudo map. This procedure assumes that you

have already added the input and output requirements as described in Defining

Sources and Targets for a Pseudo Map.

1 Right-click the pseudo map icon and select Create Source Map from the

context menu.

The Create Source Map dialog appears.
