Answer / ak
MAPFAIL occurs on a RECEIVE MAP if the operator has used the CLEAR key or one of the PA keys. It also occurs if the operator uses ENTER or a PF key from a screen where:
No fields defined in the map have the modified data tag set on (this means the operator did not key anything and you did not send any fields with the tags already set, so that no data is returned on the read), and
The cursor was not left in a field defined in the map and named, or the map did not specify CURSLOC=YES
