Map header

A map header provides each map in the file with identifying information, indicates how some map features are implemented and whether the map is enabled for use. A map header must precede each map in the map set.

The following table describes the required and optional map header parameters that precede each map.

Parameter	Description	Inclusion
`MapName`	Describes the name of the map. Used by the BMC II C APIs to identify the map that will be used in translation. This name must be unique within the map set.	Required
`Description`	Provides a free-text description of the map set.	Optional
`CopySource`	Indicates that the content (slots) of the source message is copied into the destination message before a translation is performed. Valid values: `TRUE` — Copies the source message slots into the destination message. `FALSE` — Does not copy the source message slots into the destination message (default). After the content is copied from the source message to the destination message, it can then be translated.	Optional
`Enable`	Specifies whether the map is enabled for use. Valid values: `TRUE` — Enabled `FALSE` — Disabled	Required
