CLASS SEARCH DEFINEs

A CLASS SEARCH DEFINE contains information to be used for resolving file names

with a search list.

A CLASS SEARCH DEFINE has 21 attributes named SUBVOL0 through SUBVOL20

and another 21 attributes named RELSUBVOL0 through RELSUBVOL20. Each of

these attributes takes the same form and is optional. The value of one attribute is

either a single subvolume specification or a list of them enclosed in parentheses and

separated by commas. A subvolume specification can be a fully or partially qualified

subvolume name, or the name of a CLASS DEFAULTS DEFINE.

With the SUBVOLnn attributes, subvolume name resolution takes place when the

attribute is added; with the RELSUBVOLnn attributes, subvolume name resolution

takes place when the DEFINE is used. The search order for a CLASS SEARCH

DEFINE is as follows:

SUBVOL0

RELSUBVOL0

SUBVOL1

RELSUBVOL1

. . .

SUBVOL20

RELSUBVOL20

If any attribute is a list, the search order is from left to right within the list.

CLASS SEARCH DEFINEs are used by the FILENAME_RESOLVE_ procedure. Refer

to the

Guardian Programmer’s Guide for detailed information about the CLASS

SEARCH DEFINEs and their attributes.

CLASS SORT DEFINEs

A CLASS SORT DEFINE passes information to the FASTSORT utility. All SORT

attributes (other than CLASS) are optional.

FASTSORT always checks for the presence of a DEFINE named

=_SORT_DEFAULTS. If this DEFINE exists and is of CLASS SORT, FASTSORT

reads the attributes from it and uses them to set the sort parameters.

=_SORT_DEFAULTS is reserved for use as the name for a default CLASS SORT

DEFINE. Refer to the

FastSort Manual for detailed information about the CLASS

SORT DEFINE and its attributes.

CLASS SUBSORT DEFINEs

A CLASS SUBSORT DEFINE passes information that applies to parallel sorts running

under the FASTSORT utility. The only required attribute (other than CLASS) is

SCRATCH. Refer to the

FastSort Manual for detailed information about the CLASS

SUBSORT DEFINE and its attributes.
