Before you can begin to work with FML fielded buffers, or to use the VIEWS functions that move fields between structures and fielded buffers, you must:

Define fields.
Make field definitions available to application programs (through field table files and mapping functions at run time, or through C header files at compile time).
Compile source view descriptions into object view descriptions, and generate corresponding C header files and COBOL COPY files.

These tasks and related activities are described here.
