TACL DEFINE Commands
You can use the TACL DEFINE commands shown in Table 6-1 when working with
DEFINEs. For command syntax and options, see the TACL Reference Manual.
Example of Creating and Using a DEFINE
This example shows how to create and use a SPOOL DEFINE with FUP to copy a file
from disk to the spooler. The SPOOL DEFINE sets the attributes of the spooler job
before you run FUP.
Task 1: Ensure DEFINEs are Enabled
Ensure that DEFINEs are enabled for your TACL process (DEFMODE setting is ON):
If DEFMODE is set to OFF, enter a SET DEFMODE ON command:
For more information, see Enabling and Disabling DEFINEs
on page 6-6.
Task 2: Create the DEFINE
In the ADD DEFINE command, you specify a name and class for the DEFINE, as well
as any other attributes you want to define.
