• Cabinets

• Drawers

• Reports

12

• Read/Write security– Odd cabinet numbers are read only– Even cabinet numbers are read/write

• 1 unsecured/common drawer (A)

• 8 secured drawers (B – I)

• Common report information generally makes up a drawer

MAPPERMAPPER

Cabinets

13

• The Zero report determines report headers, formats and editing

• Reports can be up to 998 characters wide on NT and Unix, and 504 on 2200

• Reports can contain a million lines on NT and Unix, and 262k on 2200

• You can set up display formats for all reports in a drawer (26 formats max.)

• Line one of a report has some very important information – creation date, last update date, who updated the report.

MAPPERMAPPER

Report Structure

14

• Two types of reports – temporary (results) – permanent

• Reports can have read and write passwords applied

• Report line type is in character position 1– Line types can be any character– Typical line types are period, tab, & asterisk

• Reports may utilize different line types to display data in different formats

MAPPERMAPPER

Report Structure

15

• Executed on data to create a result.

• Can be accessed via fast access method or long method

• Use the headers of the report as their gateway into the data.

• Use options to fine tune the output result.

MAPPERMAPPER

Commands

16

• Commands can be entered– on the control line of a report or result.

– At the HOME position of the idle logo. (fast access method)

• Executing a command produces a temporary report called a "result".– You can recognize a result by the word "RESULT" in

the control line

– A result is usually displayed in a different color.

• There are several commands that combine their operation with the update capability.

• Search, Match, Calculate are three.

• These command will have a new call:– Search update is SU– Match update is MAU– Calculate is CALU

MAPPERMAPPER

Update Commands

114

• First think of these commands as their original operation. For example, with Search we search for a specific string of information in a specific field or column. The result is a result containing only the lines of information the met the search criteria.

• Search Update works the same way, but now we can make a change to this result and have that change placed back into the original report.

• We could also delete these lines from the original report, or extract them out of the original report and create a new result containing just those lines.

MAPPERMAPPER

Update Commands

115

• Update (UPD) takes the current result on display and places information back in the original report.

• Delete (DEL) takes the current result and deletes it from the original report.

• Extract (EXT) takes the current result and deletes it from the original report and displays the deleted information as a result.

123

Example

124

• Use the Calculate command to compute, compare, and replace numeric data, character strings, dates, and times in a report.– Command syntax: CAL RD or CAL –

• R = The report number• D = The drawer type• - = Use the report on display

• This is probably the most complex command ever developed for MAPPER. (People have based careers on this command alone.)

MAPPERMAPPER

Calculate Command

125

• There are 16 options available with the Calculate command. Some of the more popular ones are:– E If a result in a field = 0, fill field with a

space.– J(x) Justify the numeric data according to

(x) – L List all value labels– O Omit all data lines in the result.

Calculate Options

126

• With Calculate you have the all of the various arithmetic labels, expressions, and equations at your fingertips.

• You can string multiple equations together in one calculate command.

• There are many examples in the CAL Help. Read and practice these examples.

• Use the Count command to analyze and summarize data. Based on key fields, the command computes subtotals, percentages, averages, entry counts, and more. – Command syntax: CNT RD or CNT –

• R = The report number• D = The drawer type• - = Use the report on display

• This is probably the most efficient command ever developed for MAPPER. It executes operations with one pass through the data.

MAPPERMAPPER

Count Command

131

• There are a 19 options that can be used by the Count command. Some of the more popular ones are:– Dn Process only the line that occur n or more

times.

– H Extract only the first set of headers

– P Pack the result by removing all non-referenced fields.

– R Execute across the range of reports specified.

MAPPERMAPPER

Count Options

132

• There are 5 parameters used by the Count command. They are:– 1 – 9 Specifies the field to sort and the hierarchy to

sort them in. These are the KEY fields.– N Specifies this field to be numeric.– DF Specifies this is a date field in the a specific

format.– TF Specifies this is a time field in the a specific

format.– R Specifies a rounding value

• There are many examples in the Count Help. Read and practice these examples.

Graphics

142

• Preformatted Charts have you fill out a form. A chart is generated from that.

• Interactive Charts all let you use a report or result and generate a chart from it.

155

• Up to this point we have done every thing in a text or character environment.

• PCME lets you do the same things we have done only in a GUI environment.

• It requires a set of MAPPER programs to be loaded on the host MAPPER system. It can be controlled at a user level.

• It has a GUI representation for most of the MAPPER commands but, not all of the commands.

• At this point you have been exposed to several of the MAPPER commands. This is only a fraction of all of the commands at your fingertips. You should use HELP or the manuals to review and learn about other commands and options to assist you in your usage of MAPPER.

• Once you become proficient in MAPPER commands, you can become a "Run Designer".

What’s Next?

159

• A MAPPER Run lets you take the manual commands that you do frequently to develop a specific result, and create a program that will develop the same result, just by executing it.

• A MAPPER Run is a script, or a sequence of executable commands, stored in a report.– MAPPER runs are stored in the same kind of

reports as MAPPER data.

MAPPERMAPPER

MAPPER Run

160

• The Run Language or command set is an extension of the manual commands. In almost all cases there are run commands that are equivalent to the manual functions. There are many run command that have no manual equivalent, mainly in the display and formatting of data.

• An example of a MAPPER run is the graphic commands. All of the chart commands are actually MAPPER runs. PCME is another example.

MAPPERMAPPER

Run Language

161

• Remember our problem dealing with Match?– Create a single report that contains all of the following

information; • Status Date, Serial number, Product Cost, Customer Code

– We have one report that currently contains all of this information 2B0 except Product Cost. Product Cost is contained in 1C0.
