You can create maps by using a quick command or a specification
file.
Create a map by using a quick command
When you create a map by using a quick command, the onpladm utility
creates a format object with the same name as the map, plus the suffix -fmt.
The generated format name (as for all onpladm objects)
has a maximum length of 18 characters.
Create a map with a detailed specification file
When you create a map, the onpladm utility
creates a format object with the same name as the map. When you create
a map with a specification file, you must create all associated High-Performance Loader (HPL) objects;
the onpladm utility does not create these objects
for you.
