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.

Answer / anitha
in DataOnly, the data which are passed from that page will only navigated. in send MAPONLY the physical map will be passed inspite of whatever the data present inside the map. Therfore if you are going to carry some data from one map to another map, then you have to give Dataonly compulsarily, else if you do not need to carry data from one to other, you may give MAPONLY which will display the appropriate map.
