    If \(f(X)\) is an integral-valued polynomial with rational coefficients and \(m,n\) are positive integers, then \(\Phi\colon a\mapsto f(a)\bmod n\) is a map from \(\mathbb Z\) to the cyclic group \(\mathbb Z_n\). If it happens that the value \(\Phi(a)\) depends only on the residue \(a\bmod m\), then \(\Phi\) induces a map \(\Psi\colon\mathbb Z_m\to\mathbb Z_n\) of cyclic groups. If \(A,B\) are arbitrary finite Abelian groups, then writing them as direct sums of the same number \(r\) of cyclic groups (with some trivial factors, if necessary) one can obtain in a similar way mappings \(A\to B\) induced by integral-valued polynomials in \(r\) variables. The author studies properties of the mappings obtained in this way and presents their classification.
