What do the keywords MAPONLY and DATAONLY mean?..

Answer / y@$w@nth

what physical map contains:

As we know that The map formatting information like fields
starting position on the screen and their maximum length..
etc will be contained in physical map

what symbolic map contains:

the symbolic map contains the variables data that is
referenced in the cobol program

so when we use MAPONLY option the name itself is saying
that send only map not data that means it doesn't use
symbolic map.
And when we use DATAONLY option the name itself saying that
send only Data not map that is just refresh the screen with
new values for the fields.it doesn't use physical map.
