How do I display a seat map in Galileo?

When

The client asks where they can sit: you want to see which seats are free on a booked flight (or on a flight in an availability display), and what each seat is like — window, aisle, exit row, extra legroom.

Check first

In Smartpoint the seat map is graphical: click the booked class in the itinerary, type #SEAT, or use the seat assignment script. Most typed seat-map entries below do not work in Smartpoint, but the graphical map shows the same information (hover over a seat for its characteristics).
The typed entries are for native (terminal) work.

Steps

#	Entry	What it does	Why
1	`SA*S1`	Seat map for segment 1 of the booking file.	The usual case.
2	`SA*S1/NW/15`	Same, non-smoking window seats, from row 15.	Narrow the view.
3	`SA*A2Y`	Seat map for the flight on line 2 of an availability display, in Y class.	Before booking.
4	`SA*LH1415Y20NOVFRALJU`	Seat map for a named flight, class and date.	Without a booking file.
5	`SA*S1#VIE`	Seat map for the leg starting in VIE of a change-of-gauge flight.	One flight number, two aircraft.
6	`SA*`	Shows the seat map again.	Back to it after other entries.
7	`SC*12A`	Shows the characteristics of seat 12A.	Exit row, bassinet, restricted recline …
8	`SC*`	Lists the seat characteristic codes.	Decode the map.

Check it worked

The map shows rows and seats with their status; SC* + seat answers what that seat offers. Common characteristic codes: W window · A aisle · E exit · L extra legroom · B bulkhead · I adult with infant allowed · J no infant or child · H suitable for disabled passengers · U suitable for unaccompanied minor · P preferred · X blocked by the airline · @ conditional · / no seat in this position.

Traps

Most typed SA* entries do not run in Smartpoint — use the graphical seat map there.
A free seat on the map is not reserved — book it (Reserve, change or cancel a free seat).
Chargeable seats show on the map but cannot be booked with seat entries (Paid seats — book on the graphical seat map, pay by EMD).
Read the codes before offering a seat: J takes no infant or child, X is blocked by the airline.
