Applymap() mapped values within the load-statement and Map .. using Mapname is a stand-alone statement which could be used for renaming fields/tables or setting tags - you will find various examples within help.

This example will rename all loaded fields which are in the mapping-table with a new Name:

OldFieldName, NewFieldName

x, X

y, Y

z, Z

];

rename fields using MapReNameFields;
