Optionally, you can specify a domain in the composite-object definition. If you do not
specify a domain, the composite object inherits a default domain from its composite
type definition, as described in “DOMAIN Attribute for SSTYPE Definitions,” earlier
in this section. In the composite-object definition, you can also specify the groups to
which the composite object is to belong.
The sample session below shows composite-object names being added. In this
example, the composite objects are instances of the composite type called ATM. The
SHOW and INFO commands display the attributes of the composite objects. User
input is displayed in boldface type.
