maps are called by execution maps. sometimes , you cannot finish all logic in a map. you can build some common maps which can be reused.

Functional map is subset of executable map.

-> Say for example, in some cases input record is 0:s and output record is 0:s, but you have to map only
certain input records (obviously some satisfying condition) with output recrod, in this case we have to functional map to do the mapping.

-> Generally, wherever looping is required in output to map the input then we have to use f'map to do the mapping.

Sorry, don't quite understand that comment. You must know or see something I missed.

In addition functional maps can be used perform common routines. Don't bother writing a rule 4 times. Write 1 f_map and execute it 4 times. Make maint easier too.

I am pretty sure , you have used a c function
eg: f(x,y)
Same way you use a function in Mercator or WTX with parameters like x and y , this will in-turn act as a sub map to the main map , this is called a functional map.
this has a input and the output , the input is nothing but the parameters u pass in the functional map and output is the location where you write the functional map. it will return a value , Just like another function in any programming languages , takes the parameters as input and returns the value simple ryt????
