Creating and Using DEFINEs
DEFINE Attributes
In addition to the CLASS attribute, each DEFINE has at least one other attribute.
A MAP DEFINE has only the FILE attribute. A CATALOG DEFINE has only a
SUBVOL attribute. Attributes for a DEFAULTS DEFINE are VOLUME, SWAP, and
CATALOG.
These TAPE DEFINE attributes are described under

on page 11-19:
BLOCKLEN
DENSITY
DEVICE
EBCDIC
EXPIRATION

These SPOOL DEFINE attributes are described under

All DEFINE attributes (including SEARCH, SORT, and SUBSORT attributes) are
described in detail under the SET DEFINE command in the TACL Reference Manual.
Initial Attribute Settings
A DEFINE attribute might have an initial setting, depending on whether it is:
A default attribute — has an initial default value. For example, the default value for
CLASS is MAP.
A required attribute — does not have an initial value. You must specify a value for
each required attribute before you can create a DEFINE. The required attributes for
each DEFINE class are:
CATALOG
DEFAULTS
MAP
SEARCH
SPOOL
TAPE
An optional attribute has no initial value and does not require a value. OWNER and
DENSITY are optional attributes for a TAPE DEFINE.
