I have a map definition like below.

ABCMAP1 DFHMDI SIZE=(024,080),MAPATTS= (COLOR,HILIGHT,VALIDN), X
DSATTS=(COLOR,HILIGHT,VALIDN)
DFHMDF POS=(01,001),ATTRB=(ASKIP,NORM), X
LENGTH=007,INITIAL='ABC0000'
DFHMDF POS=(01,028),ATTRB=(ASKIP,BRT), X
LENGTH=020,INITIAL='XXXX XXXX '
DFHMDF POS=(01,063),ATTRB=(ASKIP,NORM), X
LENGTH=005,INITIAL='DATE:'
DATE1 DFHMDF POS=(01,069),LENGTH=010,ATTRB=(ASKIP,FSET,NORM), X
PICIN='X(10)',PICOUT='X(10)'

If I compile the above map, the copybook will be created with variable DATE1...like below

01 ABCMAP1I.
02 FILLER PIC X(12).
02 DATE1L COMP PIC S9(4).
02 DATE1F PICTURE X.
02 FILLER REDEFINES DATE1F.
03 DATE1A PICTURE X.
02 FILLER PICTURE X(3).
02 DATE1I PIC X(10).

Where do the INITIAL values like 'ABC0000' , 'XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXXX' are stored?

in the map.

read about SEND MAP in the CICS manual. The SEND API merges your data defined by the copybook with the MAP (which is stored in a CICS area - details found in manual).

here is a programming guide explanation of 5.3.1.8.1 Physical and symbolic map sets

The map that is generated is a phase, just like a program after it has been compiled. Your copybook is just the names for adressing the input or moving values to the output fields.
