12. MAPPER Cabinets Read/Write security 1 unsecured/common drawer (A)
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

13. MAPPER Report Structure
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.

14. MAPPER Report Structure
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

15. MAPPER Commands 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.

16. MAPPER Commands 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.

113. MAPPER Update Commands
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

114. MAPPER Update Commands
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.

115. MAPPER Update Commands
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.

With the MAPPER calculator you can enter all of the normal operators within your expression or expressions.
Command syntax is: A
Example

123. Example

124. MAPPER Calculate Command
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.)

125. MAPPER Calculate Options
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.

126. MAPPER Calculate Parameters
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.

127. CALculate Example Make these changes to 2B0:
Change BLACKBOX to WHITEBOX and GREENBOX to BrownBOX
If STCD = IP and CustCode = AMCO then: store line number in SpcCod, add 90 days to StatusDate, store new date & day of week in ShipDate & ShipOrder.

128. CALculate Example
Equivalent run statement: @CAL,0,B,2 '' 'STCD','StatusDate','ProductType'(1-5), 'CustCode', 'SpcCod','ShipDate','ShipOrder' ,a,b,c,d,e,f,g \ if:c="BLACK";then:C="WHITE";if:c="GREEN";then:C="Brown";\ if:a="IP"&d="AMCO";then:e=LINE;then:f,d(1)=d1(b)+90;\ then:g,d(w)=d1(f); DSP,-0

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.

160. MAPPER Run Language
