MAP (continued)

Items Option

The Items option allows you to MAP certain records within a set. You can specify a single record (e.g., MAP RN /6), a range of records (e.g., MAP RN /1-3), or a non-sequential group of records (e.g., MAP RN S3/1-2,5,9-10). Separate each item or range with a comma. If you do not specify a set number, the items indicated are MAPped from the last set created.

In the following example, a search is run in D&B — Dun’s Market Identifiers^® to identify branch establishments for a specific group of corporate headquarters. Headquarters located in Alaska are SELECTed and SORTed by sales (SA,D) in descending order.

The MAP DN command is used to create a SearchSave of the D-U-N-S^® Numbers (unique company identifiers) of the 10 top companies. Items 1 to 10 are specified using the item range option. The Field Prefix option is used to change the prefix DN= to DH= to pull together all the branches for each headquarters location using the Headquarters D-U-N-S^® Number (DH=). The STEPS option creates a separate SELECT command for each headquarters and its branches.
