Naming of Symbolic MAP.

Hi all,

From my understanding, names of Physical and Symbolic maps generated after assembling the macros is same as that of MAPSET.

But in my shop I am seeing that name of symbolic map is that of MAP(DFHMDI) and not of MAPSET.

Could someone throw some light on this and correct my understanding.

Regards,
Asif

there may be more than one map in mapset.

Thats very true.

But we know that in case of , say 3 maps in one mapset, the symbolic map(copybook) has 3 '01-level' entries with the last two REDEFINED on the first one.

Now I am wondering what would be the name of such a symbolic map. It should be mapset name, i think.

Or is it so that at the time of compiling a macro we can choose to create seperate copybooks for different maps in the mapset.

Hi,

When you compile your MAP BMS Macro program there is one DD statement in your JCL
//CSYM.SYSLIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=

So whatever DSN you specify here will be your symbolic Map name.

You must have your mapname there as DSN

Correct me if I am wrong !

We have to give the mapset name as input to the JCL.. The output can be anything.. even ur name.. check ur compile JCL Asif.. See wht name has been given there.. it will be the name of the copybook..
