BCMAP Translate BCMAP Save File to Procedure format

BCMAP file1, file2 [, R|P]

The system administrator or console command BCMAP FUNCT=SAVE,FILE=file1 can be used to save the current BCMAP configuration to a file. The data in this file is stored in an internal format which cannot be interpreted by the user. The BCMAP TAS command will create an executable Run file or DO procedure from the BCMAP Save file. The BCMAP statements are thus converted to text, and this file can then be modified by the user as required, and can be used, for example, to import the data to a different environment.

file1 Name of the BCMAP Save file created with a BCMAP FUNCT=SAVE,FILE=file1 command.

file2 Name of the output file to be created by TAS.

R|P The output file will be created as a Run file (default) or as a BS2000 DO procedure.

A Run file consists of statements without continuation lines up to a maximum of 200 bytes. A BS2000 DO procedure consists of statements which, if they exceed 72 bytes, contain a continuation character ('-') in column 72.

Notes:

The BCMAP command can also be executed as a stand-alone function, without TAS being loaded. The command syntax is: /EXEC (BCMAP,$CFS.CFSLIB) .

In this case, the names of the input and output files will be requested from SYSDTA.
