MAP Subcommand (IMPORT command)

MAP displays a list of variables in the active dataset, showing all changes that have been specified on the RENAME, DROP, or KEEP subcommands.

• MAP can be specified as often as desired.
• MAP confirms only the changes specified on the subcommands that precede the MAP request.
• Results of subcommands that follow MAP are not mapped. When MAP is specified last, it also produces a description of the file.

Example

IMPORT FILE='/data/newsum.por' 
  /DROP=DEPT TO DIVISION /MAP
  /RENAME NAME=LNAME WAGE=SALARY /MAP.

• The first MAP subcommand produces a listing of the variables in the file after DROP has dropped the specified variables.
• RENAME renames NAME and WAGE.
• The second MAP subcommand shows the variables in the file after renaming.
