In the route map this command sets a community value which will be advertised to some neighbor. Some of the BGP community values are established and well known, such as no-export. But most community values are negotiated between BGP peers.

I doubt that the original command really had XXX,YYY and so if you substituted XXX,YYY for what was there then you are the best one to know what they were. What they mean is probably something that was negotiated between your company and the BGP neighbor.

A route map can be used for multiple purposes and in this case the route map appears to be used to manipulate advertisements in BGP. The first line of the route map identifies the route map by name and establishes the first instance of the route map (and appears that it may be the only instance in this route map). The second line of the route map identifies a prefix list which will be used to examine prefixes to be advertised. The third line of the route map will set the community value of the prefix being advertised.
