After all the fields on your map are defined, you tell BMS that they form a single map by preceding them with a DFHMDI macro. This macro tells BMS:
The map name and size are the critical information on a DFHMDI macro but, for documentation purposes, you should specify your other options explicitly rather than letting them default. The DFHMDI macro for our example might be:
QCKMAP DFHMDI SIZE=(24,80),LINE=1,COLUMN=1,CTRL=ALARM
We have named the map QCKMAP. This is the identifier we use in SEND MAP commands. It is 24 lines long, 80 columns wide, and starts in the first column of the first line of the display. We have also indicated that we want to sound the alarm when the map is displayed.
