   The fields contained in the map are listed in the order in which they appear on the map. The two user-defined fields are assigned dummy names, which are preceded by a number sign (#). These dummy names must be replaced to catalog the map.

2. Replace the dummy names as shown below:

3. Press ENTER twice.

   The Edit Map menu appears with the Name field set to `MAP001`.

4. In the Code field, enter a `W` (for Stow Map) and press ENTER.

   The Stow Map function executes the `STOW` command, which checks the syntax of MAP001 and stores the map definition as a source object and a cataloged object in the current Natural library in the current system file.

You can now proceed with Defining Field Properties.
