Create maps

You can create maps by using a quick command or a specification file.

Create a map by using a quick command
When you create a map by using a quick command, the onpladm utility creates a format object with the same name as the map, plus the suffix -fmt. The generated format name (as for all onpladm objects) has a maximum length of 18 characters.
Create a map with a detailed specification file
When you create a map, the onpladm utility creates a format object with the same name as the map. When you create a map with a specification file, you must create all associated High-Performance Loader (HPL) objects; the onpladm utility does not create these objects for you.
