Issue/Introduction
Description:
Enhanced and Standard map screens generated on the Host Encyclopedia can be set by user or globally. This document will describe how and where the settings are located and include code examples to determine if a screen was generated with enhanced or standard map.
Environment
Cause
There are two map options for screen generation in CA Gen:
• In Standard map the screen is read in one line at a time.
• In Enhanced map the entire screen is read at one time which makes this option more efficient.
Screen and/or program code do not always work together with Enhanced map if screens were built with Standard map in earlier releases of Gen. Standard map was retained for this reason.
Generally when screen problems occur, changing from Enhanced to Standard or vice versa will resolve the problem.
Resolution
USER SETTINGS
There is a global setting. This setting can be overwritten by the user on the Application System Construction Menu option 8. Screen generator options. Here there are three options:
E. Enhanced Use enhanced screen generator S. Standard Use standard screen generator D. Default Use installation default
Set as desired to Enhanced or Standard. If Default is selected, it will take the global setting. The global setting is described below. This setting will be saved in the users ISPF profile for future use. Note that if the setting by a user differs from the default setting, the user setting prevails. This setting is for all models and business systems. Again, it will be saved in the user ISPF profile when the user logs off and retrieved for use when the user logs on again to the Host Encyclopedia.
GLOBAL SETTING
In Gen 8.x and after, the global default for map generation selection is located in the Gen PARMLIB(TIRHE) for the Host Encyclopedia and PARMLIB(TIRIT) for the z/OS IT. The setting default is ENHANCED MAP. This is for all models and business systems unless overwritten by the user.

Additional Information
ENHANCED / STANDARD Generated Source Code
The header portion of the generated code can be viewed to determine if Enhanced or Standard map was used. Below are examples of code generation for Enhanced and Standard map screens. Note the difference in the presentation of the flower box for Enhanced map code generation. See the screen source in your generated source code library. This library can be found in the Specify Construction Libraries and then Specify Internal Libraries.
