In addition to the CLASS attribute, each DEFINE has at least one other attribute.

All DEFINE attributes (including SEARCH, SORT, and SUBSORT attributes) are
described in detail under the SET DEFINE command in the TACL Reference Manual.
Initial Attribute Settings
A DEFINE attribute might have an initial setting, depending on whether it is:
•
A default attribute — has an initial default value. For example, the default value for
CLASS is MAP.
•
A required attribute — does not have an initial value. You must specify a value for
each required attribute before you can create a DEFINE. The required attributes for
each DEFINE class are:
•
An optional attribute has no initial value and does not require a value. OWNER and
DENSITY are optional attributes for a TAPE DEFINE.
CATALOG SUBVOL attribute
DEFAULTS VOLUME attribute
MAP FILE attribute
SEARCH None required
SPOOL LOC attribute
TAPE No required attributes, but dependencies exist between attributes (as
listed in the TACL Reference Manual). Example: The VOLUME attribute
is required if you specify USE IN (if you use the tape file for input).
