About this task

How to re-create BMS macro statements from a mapset load module

Use the BMS macro generation utility program (DFHBMSUP). This utility can re-create the original BMS macros that were assembled to produce a mapset load module, when the macro statements are no longer available. DFHBMSUP generates map definition macros that are equivalent to the originals, and thus can be used to recreate symbolic maps; however, it is not possible to recover the original field names used. You must edit the field names generated by the utility.

For details, see BMS macro generation utility (DFHBMSUP).
