Symbolic Map Preferences

You can modify Symbolic Map preferences in the Preferences window. These attributes correspond to specific changes made when the BMS symbolic map is generated.

Preferences

Access this window by selecting from the main menu Window > Preferences, and expanding in the left menu BMS Map Editor > Symbolic Map Preferences.

You can modify the following Symbolic Map preferences:
Always generate alphanumeric data type, including fields defined as numeric
Selecting this option will generate all data types as alphanumeric when the symbolic map is generated. For example, numeric fields which would have generated PIC 9(...) will now be generated as PIC X(...).
Generate data structure length field
Selecting this option will create a 01 entry in the generated symbolic map containing the length of the entire data structure.
