$MAP statement

Syntax

$MAP mapname

Description

In NLS mode, use the $MAP statement to direct the compiler to specify the map for the source code. Use the $MAP statement if you use embedded literal strings that contain non-ASCII characters.

mapname must be the name of a map that has been built and installed.

You can use only one $MAP statement during compilation.

Note: You can execute programs that contain only ASCII characters whether NLS mode is on or off. You cannot execute programs that contain non-ASCII characters that were compiled in NLS mode if NLS mode is switched off.

Example

The following example assigns a string containing the three characters alpha, beta, and gamma to the variable GREEKABG:

$MAP MNEMONICS
.
.
.GREEKABG = "<A*><B*><G*>"
