DEFINE Classes
For example, this MAP DEFINE lets you substitute =JUNE^RECORDS for the file
name \ACCT.$DISK.RECORDS.JUNE when you enter a command that uses this file
name:
For more information, see the TACL Reference Manual.
SPOOL DEFINE
A SPOOL DEFINE lets you set parameters for a spooler job. This DEFINE associates
spooler job attributes such as COPIES, REPORT, and LOC with a SPOOL DEFINE
name such as =SPOOLER^JOB.
When you start a process that uses the SPOOL DEFINE, the spooler output from that
process has the job attributes you specified in the SPOOL DEFINE. You can use a
SPOOL DEFINE wherever a spooler collector process name can be used. To display a
SPOOL DEFINE with the TACL INFO DEFINE command:
For more information, see Example of Creating and Using a DEFINE
on page 6-9.
TAPE DEFINE
A TAPE DEFINE lets you access a file on a labeled tape. This DEFINE associates
labeled-tape attributes such as LABELS, VOLUME, and DENSITY with a DEFINE
name such as =TAPE^JOB. You can use a TAPE DEFINE wherever a tape file name
can be used.
For example, to transfer a file from a labeled tape to a disk volume, you first create a
TAPE DEFINE that contains the attributes of the tape job. To display a TAPE DEFINE
with the TACL INFO DEFINE command:
