BCMAP Convert BCMAP Save file to Procedure Format

BCMAP file1, file2 [, R|P]

The BCMAP FUNCT=SAVE,FILE=file1 command, issued by the system administrator, or at the console, will cause the current BCMAP assignments to be saved to a file. The entries in the file are stored in an internal format which is unreadable to the user. The BCMAP command under CFS will create a Run file or a DO procedure from a BCMAP save file. The BCMAP entries will thus be converted to plain text. The output file created by CFS can be modified by the user and then, for example, be executed in another environment.

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

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

bR|P The output file will be created as a Run file (standard) or as a BS2000 procedure.

A Run file contains statements without continuation lines up to a length of 200 bytes. The statements in a BS2000 DO procedure, amongst other things, can be split over multiple lines by means of a continuation character '-' in column 72.

Notes:

The CFS BCMAP command can also be invoked as a stand-alone function without CFS being loaded. The program should be executed as follows: /EXEC (BCMAP,$CFS.CFSLIB) .

The names of the input and output files in this case will be taken from SYSDTA.
