How to paste a local variable onto a map?

How do I paste a local variable onto a map? I can do this on the mainframe but not under Windows.

On the mainframe:
. edit a map, say RMAP
. add local variable #R (via option D and PF10)
. save RMAP
. list RMAP’s variables by entering “m rmap” in the object area
. paste #R onto the map
. stow RMAP
. list RMAP to verify that #R is in the LOCAL area
. execute the calling routine to verify that it still works (unmodified, without CAT/STOW)

Under Windows:
. edit RMAP
. menu: MAP → Local Data → Define Local Data
. . add variable #R
. . save RMAP
. menu: Insert → Import → Data Field → Import Data Field
. . select Map, then RMAP, then #R
. . import
. CHECK results in NAT0823 Field or variable defined more than once
. . CHECK has copied #R to the parameter area

I have tried copying the working map from mainframe to Windows, but Save, Check, CAT, and Stow all modify the map so as to be unusable. Am I missing something, or is this a bug?

Hi Ralph;

after:

Under Windows:
. edit RMAP
. menu: MAP → Local Data → Define Local Data
. . add variable #R
. . save RMAP

try a STOW.

See what error you get (or perhaps it may work?)
