Sending BMS mapped output

When you have assembled your symbolic map set, you are ready to code. We have explained by example how you get data from an application program to a map. We discuss that process in greater detail now, describing all the steps that must be performed, and telling you more about the options you have.

You must perform the following steps to produce mapped output:

  1. Acquire storage in which to build the map.
  2. Copy the symbolic map set so that it defines the structure of this storage.
  3. Initialize it.
  4. Move the output data into the map structure.
  5. Set the field attributes.
  6. Write the map to the screen with a SEND MAP command, adding any device control information required.
