The MAPPER language is an interpreted scripting language, and is held within the MAPPER database, in reports. An application in MAPPER is commonly held within a cabinet, or within a series of consecutive cabinets.
 
While an interpreted language, MAPPER is reasonably quiskquick as the atoms themselves are quite powerful- sort, search, match, count etc are all atoms of the language (which are written in C++ or MASM, depending on platform).
 
The typing in MAPPER script is very simple: the types are primitive (integer, real, string) and no structs or similar complex classes are supported. One-dimensional arrays are supported, arrays of higher dimension would have to simulated in code.
