Guardian DEFINEs
DEFINEs are a means for passing information to a process. For example, you can use DEFINEs to
pass attributes to a process to provide:
• An alternate name for accessing a file
• A list of subvolumes to search for a filename
• A simple way to set up attributes for labeled-tape processing
• A simple means of passing attributes to the spooler subsystem
DEFINEs are created and manipulated using a set of OSS commands that correspond to the
commands used in the Guardian environment.

The OSS commands that support DEFINEs function in the same manner as their Guardian
counterparts. For more information on DEFINEs and the related commands, refer to the Guardian
User’s Guide and the Guardian Programmer’s Guide.
