declarative statement.
The

A
.kw MAP
structure must appear within a
.kw UNION
block.
Any number of variables of any type may appear within a memory
map.
At least two
.kw MAP
structures must appear within a
.kw UNION
block.
A
.kw UNION
block permits the mapping of the same storage in several different
ways.
