MAP Subcommand (EXPORT command)

MAP displays any changes that have been specified by the RENAME, DROP, or KEEP subcommands.

  • MAP can be specified as often as desired.
  • Each MAP subcommand maps the results of subcommands that precede it; results of subcommands that follow it are not mapped. When MAP is specified last, it also produces a description of the portable file.

Example

EXPORT OUTFILE=NEWSUM /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. Since this is the last subcommand, the listing will show the variables as they are written in the portable file.
