D
specifies that a definition from the DDL data dictionary is to be used to create the
user-defined map. If you specify D, you must specify definition-name .
map-name
specifies an alternative map name for the user-defined map. This operand is used
to override the default map name.
Considerations
A user-defined map name must be from 1 through 32 characters long. You can use
the following characters in a user-defined map name, as long as the first character
is not a digit or a dollar sign ($):
Alphabetic characters: A through Z and a through z
Numeric characters: 0 through 9
Other characters: # $ @
If NonStop NET/MASTER MS is not running, its map file is closed; otherwise, the
map file is open. A map definition is added to the map file whether or not the
map file is open. Adding a user-defined map to the map file does not load the
map name or the map itself into NonStop NET/MASTER MS memory.
If NonStop NET/MASTER MS is not running and its map file is closed, a
user-defined map name is automatically loaded into NonStop NET/MASTER MS
memory when NonStop NET/MASTER MS is started.
A user-defined map is loaded into memory when an NCL process refers to the
map or you execute the SYSPARMS MAPLOAD command. Refer to the NonStop
NET/MASTER MS Command Reference Manual for more information on the
SYSPARMS command.
After a user-defined map is loaded into NonStop NET/MASTER MS memory, you
can use the SHOW MAPS command to display information about it. Refer to the
NonStop NET/MASTER MS Command Reference Manual for more information on the
SHOW MAPS command.
Example
Assume NonStop NET/MASTER MS was installed with a process character of Z in
$DATA2.ZNNM on your Tandem system. The following TACL RUN command
invokes the MDMAINT program to create a map definition for the record EMPREC
and add it to the map file:
RUN $DATA2.ZNNM.MDMAINT /PRI 140, NAME $ZMDM/
$DATA2.ZNNMDATA.MAPFILE
ADD $DATA2.UDDL EMPREC R
