It's for Record format field mapping - if you use *NOCHK it
just copies the data without regard to field type or size,
which is a bad idea.
*MAP
Fields with the same name in the from-file and to-file
record formats are copied, and any fields in the to-file
that do not exist in the from-file format are set to the
default value specified on the DFT keyword for the data
description specification (DDS) of the to-file or zero for
numeric fields, blanks for character fields, current
date/time for date/time fields, or null value for null-
capable fields.
If *MAP is specified, *DROP can also be specified. Mapped
fields may have different starting positions in the from-
file and to-file record formats.
If *MAP is specified and a valid conversion is defined
between the from-file field CCSID and the to-file field
CCSID, the character data is converted to the to-file field
CCSID. However, if either the from-file field CCSID or the
to-file field CCSID is 65535, the character data is not
converted.
*MAP allows for the conversion of date/time data and the
copying of null values.
*DROP
This value must be specified for field-level mapping if any
of the field names in the from-file record format do not
exist in the to-file format. If *DROP is specified, *MAP
can also be specified. When *DROP is specified, all the
field names that exist in both record formats must have the
same attributes and relative positions in the from-file and
to-file record formats, or *MAP must also be specified.
Null values are copied.

How to handle duplicate error handling in RPG?

Q:Hi all,i want accurate answer with code using in built functions.please sent me code as soon as posible. I have program nmed PGM1 which '' RETRIEVE Current production date''should correctly default the production date for the user who is issuing raw materials to the manufacturing.The production date can be different from the celendra date. However, the program does not make the correct adjustment for all manufacturing plants. there is a parameter which determines the production start time e.g. 07:00 if the system time precedes this,the program subtracts one from the celendra day.This work fine when the celendar day starts after production day as it does in England,the system should be adding one to the celendar day during the overlap. unfortunately the program was desined to assumed the celendar day always starts before the production day. Change required in the program: Change the PROGRAM PGM1 to use the new parrameter to decide whether to add or subtract 1 from the celendar day when determining the production date.
