Defined as Relation

The Defined as relation declares that a file exists. For example, to say a file named "Product" exists:

Product            Defined as                      Product

A Defined as relation is present for each file.CA 2E implicitly creates the Defined as relation if the definition of the file was not done using the Defined as relation in the first place.

The Defined as relation does not cause any field entries to be added to a file.
