This section discusses the structure of standard maps and how to create and use a
user-defined map. A standard map is a map supplied with NonStop NET/MASTER
MS to access data structures that are an integral part of NonStop NET/MASTER MS.
A user-defined map is a map that you create to access data structures that you define.
Table 11-1 summarizes the verbs discussed in this section. These are verbs that
support access to Mapping Services and data in MDO variables.
