The BMS Map Set wizard guides you through the creation
of a new map set.
Before you begin, you must create a project in your local
workspace or you must create on a remote system a host data set, which
may also be an MVS™ subproject.
This topic mentions the
EXTATT operand,
which is supported for compatibility with previous releases. You can
now define each of the extended attributes individually. For new maps,
use the
MAPATTS and
DSATTS operands
instead.
The
MAPATTS operand specifies the attribute
types to be included in the physical map. These types can be one or
more of the following values:
- COLOR
- HILIGHT
- OUTLINE
- PS
- SOSI
- TRANSP
- VALIDN
The
MAPATTS types must include all the attribute
types to be specified for individual fields in the map (
DFHMDF macro).
The
DSATTS operand
specifies the attribute types to be included in the symbolic description
map. These types can be one or more of the following values:
- COLOR
- HILIGHT
- OUTLINE
- PS
- SOSI
- TRANSP
- VALIDN
Any type included in the
DSATTS operand should
also be included in
MAPATTS operand.
To create a new map set, complete the following steps:
- Click . You can also
use the keystroke combination Ctrl+N. A "Select
a wizard" window is displayed.
- In the "Select a wizard" window,
expand the z/OS category, select , and click Next. A "BMS map set file location" window
is displayed.
- In the "BMS map set file location" window,
browse to the folder that you want in a local project or in a PDS
on the host, specify the name of the file in which the new map set
is to be created, and click Next. The .bms file-name
extension is automatically added to the file name.
- To create a map set with default attributes and extended attributes,
click Finish. The map set creation is complete.
- To specify map set attributes or to link to an MVS project, click Next.
A "BMS Map Set Attributes" window
is displayed. Go to the next step.
- In the "BMS Map Set Attributes" window,
specify map set attributes:
- You can specify the following map set attributes:
- Name
- The name of the map set
- Description
- A description of the map set
- Language
- One of the following values:
- Type
- One of the following values:
- Physical
- Symbolic
- &SYSPARM
- Template
- Terminal
- One of the following values:
- ALL
- CRLP
- DISK
- TWX
- 1050
- 2740
- 2770
- 2780
- 3780
- 3270-1

- 3770
- Mode
- One of the following values:
- Input and output
- Input
- Output
- To create a map that is the size of the map set, select Create
full screen map.
- If you want to add the new .bms file
to an existing MVS subproject,
select Add to MVS Project, and click the project
name on the list.
- Choose whether you want to create a map set with default
extended attributes.
- To create a map set with default extended attributes, click Finish.
The map set creation is complete.
- To specify extended attributes, click Next.
An "Extended
attributes" window
is displayed. Go to the next step.
- Make choices in the "Extended
attributes" window.
- The Symbolic (DSECT) check
boxes are as follows:
Extended color
Extended highlighting
Field outlining
Programmed symbol
Double byte SOSI
Background transparency
Validation
- The Physical (MAP) check
boxes are as follows:
Extended color
Extended highlighting
Field outlining
Programmed symbol
Double byte SOSI
Background transparency
Validation
- In the Extended attributes
support drop-down
list, select the blank value or set the EXTATT operand
by choosing one of the following values:
- No
- Is equivalent to specifying neither the DSATTS operand
nor the MAPATTS operand.
- Yes
- Is equivalent to the following setting (the default):
MAPATTS=(COLOR,HILIGHT,PS,VALIDN)
DSATTS=(COLOR,HILIGHT,PS,VALIDN)
- Map only
- Is equivalent to the following setting:
MAPATTS=(COLOR,HILIGHT,PS,VALIDN)
If you select the blank value, the EXTATT operand
is omitted from the new map set file.
- Click Finish to finish creating
the map set.
The result is a new map set file.
