sequence ASSUME COMPOSITE; SET TYPE composite type .

Considerations
If no object is specified, the default object becomes undefined; all commands
requiring an object must include an object.
When DNSCOM is executed, the default object is undefined until an ASSUME
command that specifies an object is entered.
