No rameshraj i think u r wrong.. Mapfail doesn't occur when u have not compiled the map.. tht error is AEIM..
Mapfail occurs whn u receive a map tht is empty.. i mean u send a map and when u receive the map u simply press enter without entering any values in the input field of the map.. u can use RESP key in the receive statement. Check if it is mapfail and thn send some message "Enter value in the map!!" to some message in the map and send the same map again..
Hope it is clear..

Validate the fields and use HANDLE CONDITION immediately after receiving the map.

Never use HANDLE CONDITION. It is not a good practice.. instead use RESP in the receive map as I had told..

You encounter Map fail error when there are no values entered in the map by the user before the enter key is pressed.
So you should use FSET Cntl word in any of the receiving fields(In BMS). Say if you map(BMS) has Name and employee Id field where the user need to key in the values, you can code FSET in MAP for the corresponding field "Name".
By this way you can avoid the map fail error

Hi,

MAPFAIL- When user hit enter without entering any data on un protected fileds(Here MDT is OFF for all un protected fields) then mapfail condition occurs.

In this case Solution is

1) Just mention MAPFAIL in IGNORE CONDITION, Here the map will be on the terminal itself, so user can reenter the data on the map.

2) Or when MAPFAIL occurs Just resend the same map to the terminal

Or you can use FSET field in your map definition as one byte filed, so that data will always be transmitted and MAPFAIL condition will never arise. FSET will turn the MDT tag on for that particular field when you receive the MAP.
