Catalog Catalog DEFINEs

Use the Catalog Catalog DEFINEs screen to add new SQL catalog DEFINEs to the

attachments catalog. You can also use the screen to inquire about, update, and delete

SQL catalog DEFINEs already in the NetBatch-Plus catalog.

SQL catalog DEFINEs are used for NonStop SQL/MP catalog redirection or

substitution. You can enter the logical name of the catalog DEFINE in place of a

catalog name in CATALOG clauses in NonStop SQL/MP data manipulation language

(DML) statements.

DEFINEs in the NetBatch-Plus catalog can be shared by any number of jobs. By using

these DEFINEs, you can easily and quickly attach identical DEFINEs to multiple jobs.

Instead of creating the DEFINEs for each job, you need only create a single DEFINE in

the catalog. You can then attach that DEFINE to as many jobs as you want. Catalog

DEFINEs also simplify DEFINE maintenance. By updating the attributes of a catalog

DEFINE, you automatically update those attributes for all jobs to which they apply.

You can attach SQL catalog DEFINEs from the NetBatch-Plus catalog to jobs by using

the Job Catalog DEFINEs screen. You can also use that screen to override attributes

of the DEFINEs.

Displaying the Screen

From any catalog attachment screen, enter C or CATALOG in the Option field and

press F13 to display the Catalog Catalog DEFINEs screen.
