Displaying a DEFINE
You can also create the same SORT DEFINE using a single command as shown in the
next example. The ampersand (&) is the continuation character for a TACL command
that continues on the next physical line.
ADD DEFINE =distributor_collector, CLASS SORT, &
SCRATCH $disk.fastsort.scratch, &
SWAP $disk.fastsort.swapfile, &
MODE MINSPACE, &
SUBSORTS (=subsorta,=subsortb,=subsortc)
Displaying a DEFINE
Use the INFO DEFINE command with the DETAIL option to display the attributes and
values of one or more DEFINEs. Use the SHOW DEFINE command to display the
values of specific attributes. For example, to display the attributes and values for the
=DISTRIBUTOR_COLLECTOR DEFINE, enter:
INFO DEFINE =distributor_collector, DETAIL
TACL displays:
Define Name =DISTRIBUTOR_COLLECTOR
CLASS SORT
SWAP $DISK.FASTSORT.SWAPFILE
MODE MINSPACE
SUBSORTS (=SUBSORTA,=SUBSORTB,=SUBSORTC)
The SHOW DEFINE command displays current attributes and attribute values. For
example, to display the working attribute set with current values, enter:
SHOW DEFINE *
TACL displays:
CLASS SORT
SCRATCH
SWAP $DISK.FASTSORT.SWAPFILE
MODE MINSPACE
CPU
BLOCK
PRI
SEGMENT
PROGRAM
CPUS
NOTCPUS
SUBSORTS (=SUBSORTA,=SUBSORTB,=SUBSORTC)

For more information about the SHOW DEFINE command, see the example under
Examples of SORTand SUBSORT DEFINEs on page 7-15, and the TACL Reference
Manual.
