how a data in physical and symbolic map gets treated?
Since the physical map is much concerned about the screen
alignment and the field positions, how the values entered in
the field which has PICIN or PICOUT clause in Physical map
gets treated?
Does that mean datas recieved or sent to the physical map
should be constant?
How does the data in Symbolic map gets converted with
5suffix namely F,L,A,I and O.
For example EMPNO is treated as EMPNOI, EMPNOO, EMPNOA,
EMPNOL and EMPNOF. how does this happen in symbolic map.
Please provide your inputs on the above and kindly correct
me if I am wrong.

In CICS, the Physical Map represents the layout of fields on a screen, while the Symbolic Map defines the logic and control for each field. Data entered or displayed through these maps is treated according to their respective positions within the screens. The 5-suffix convention (F, L, A, I, O) in Symbolic Maps signifies the data type of each field: F = File, L = Local, A = Alphanumeric, I = Integer, and O = Output.
