Press ENTER twice.
The Edit Map menu appears with the
Name field set to MAP001.
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.
