Hi folks,

1)How can I implement PAGEUP and PAGEDOWN logic in CICS-DB2 program?

2)How can I identify whether the MAP is Symbolic map or Physical map?

Please give a detailed explanation to the above queries.

Hello iknow,

Symbolic maps are just a layout for your phisical definition, you can use the compiler output of the map source, or even make one of your own, if you feel adventureous, this is not as crazy as it sounds, since I find it very convenient for arrays definitions and the like. For assembler programmers this symbolic definition can be seen as a dummy section, even if you decide not to use it as such. In both cases, the fact that they are a simple layout remains.

Phisical maps, on the other hand, reside in load libraries, they have an unblocked format since they are assembled and link-edited, this means that you won't be able to INCLUDE/COPY them into your source programs, however, you can, at execution time LOAD it and manipulate it, if you want to, whether or not this is wise is another history. Anyway you can allways browse any phisical definition of any map. This maps are LINK-edited to your application program, enabling you to do any action with them at run-time.
