Screen 2 has features in addition to those described for Screen 1. Screen 2 shows
how enumerated and unenumerated values are displayed. For example,
DEPTYPE refers to an unenumerated value (EDUCATION) and DEPTYPE# refers
to an enumerated equivalent (3). Other enumerated values are sales (0), marketing
(1), admin (2), and development (4).
Screen 2 shows how repeated groups are displayed. For example, EMPPAY is
repeated 12 times. The first, third, fifth, seventh, ninth, and eleventh occurrences
have pay information. The second, fourth, sixth, eighth, tenth, and twelfth fields
have only blanks.
5. Execute the following command from the OCS command input line:

NET/MASTER MS.
Considerations for User-
Defined Maps
The following considerations apply when creating a DDL source schema file to
subsequently create a user-defined map:
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:
Alphabetic characters: A-Z and a-z
Numeric characters: 0 through 9
Other characters: # $ @
