MAP subcommand (MODEL HANDLE command)

Use MAP to map a set of variable names from the input model to a different set of variable names in the active dataset. Both the VARIABLES and MODELVARIABLES keywords must be included. MODELVARIABLES is used to specify the list of variable names from the model that are to be mapped. VARIABLES is used to specify the list of target variable names in the active dataset.

• Both variable lists must contain the same number of names.
• No validation is performed against the current active file dictionary when the MODEL HANDLE command is processed. Errors associated with incorrect target variable names or variable data type mismatch are signaled when an APPLYMODEL or STRAPPLYMODEL transformation is processed.

Example

MODEL HANDLE NAME=creditmod1 FILE=’credit1.mml’
   /MAP VARIABLES=agecat curdebt
        MODELVARIABLES=age debt.

• In this example, the variable age from the model file is mapped to the variable agecat in the active dataset. Likewise, the variable debt from the model file is mapped to the variable curdebt in the active dataset.
