The cicsmap command processes a source file that contains Basic Mapping Support (BMS) macros, and generates either a symbolic map or maps, or a physical map or maps, or both as specified by the map input.

The cicsmap command processes a source file that contains Basic Mapping Support (BMS) macros, and generates either a symbolic map or maps, or a physical map or maps, or both as specified by the map input. You use command-line options …

The physical map set contains format information in encoded form. CICS® uses it at execution time for constant fields and to determine how to merge in the variable data from the program.

These samples are for running on a CICS® server. To run the sample programs, the sample CICS programs must be built, defined and installed on your CICS server. The sample CICS programs and maps are in <install_path>/samples/server. Refer to your CICS server documentation for details on how to compile, define and install these sample CICS programs.

SEND MAP sends output data to a terminal. When using the SEND MAP command with any of the ALARM, FREEKB, FRSET, HONEOM, L40, L64, L80, or PRINT options, see BMS macro DFHMDI for a description of the option priority.

You assemble a BMS map set definition to generate either a symbolic description map or a physical map. The physical map is a structured data area used at execution time to build the data stream for the terminal.

A CICS® URI map is a resource definition that matches the URIs of Web service requests and provides information on how to process the requests. The "CICS URI map details" page shows the details for a particular CICS URI map.

RECEIVE MAP maps input data from a terminal into a data area in an application program. Data from certain logical units is not mapped, but is left unaltered. Refer to the appropriate CICS® subsystem guide to see if this is true for a particular logical unit.

To send data from an application program to a display screen or printer, use the EXEC CICS SEND MAP command. To transmit device control orders, use the EXEC CICS SEND CONTROL command. CICS also provides the EXEC CICS HANDLE AID command.

RECEIVE MAP maps input data from a terminal into a data area in an application program. Following a RECEIVE MAP command, the inbound cursor position is placed in EIBCPOSN, and the terminal attention identifier (AID) is placed in EIBAID.
