Numeric Map Types

The available numeric map types are listed in the following table:

Note: If you change a map type to Sterling B2B Integrator(map type 24 in the following table), you can then, if necessary, use this command line save function to change the map type to any other map type listed in the following table (if, for example, you want to change the map back to its original type). However, if you compiled a map using a later version of the translator, it will not be backward-compatible. That is, if you use the version 2.2 translator to save and compile a map (Sterling B2B Integrator map type), and then you save (with the same 2.2 translator) and change the map to a type used in Sterling Gentran:Server® For Microsoft Windows or Sterling Gentran:Server For UNIX you will not be able to use the map with a version of Sterling Gentran:Server that uses a previous version of the translator.
