MAP (continued)

Set Number Option

The Set Number option allows you to specify a particular set number (Sn) from which data is to be MAPped. All items in the specified set are MAPped unless the Items option is included. If you do not specify a set number in a MAP command, the system automatically uses the last set created.

In the following examples, the first MAP PN command (to search patent number) specifies no set number, and the most recent set is used. However the system finds "no items to map," meaning that none of the records in set S3 contain patent numbers. The second MAP PN command specifies set S2 for MAPping, and the MAP is successful.

• To use the Set Number option:
