DEFINE SUBSYSTEM subsystem-name

Specifies the one- to eight-character name of the Subsystem you are creating or updating. Name masking is allowed. A name masked Subsystem name updates all matching Subsystem definitions.

TO ENVIRONMENT environment name SYSTEM system-name

Specifies the inventory location to which you are defining the Subsystem. The environment name and system name must be fully specified; name masking is not allowed.

DESCRIPTION description

Describes this Subsystem with text of up to 50 characters in length. If the text contains embedded spaces, enclose it in single or double quotation marks. The Description clause is required when you create a Subsystem definition. The clause is optional, when you update a Subsystem definition.

NEXT SUBSYSTEM subsystem-name

Specifies the name of the Subsystem in the next Environment. If you do not specify the Next Subsystem clause, the value defaults to the name of the Subsystem you are creating or updating.

DO NOT EXCLUDE | EXCLUDE DUPLICATE PROCESSOR OUTPUT CHECK

Specifies whether to exclude this Subsystem from being checked, if the Duplicate Processor Output Type Check is active for the System where this Subsystem is located. The default is Do Not Exclude Duplicate Processor Output Check.

Example: Define Subsystem SCL

The following is an example of the Define Subsystem SCL. The example creates a Subsystem named GENLEDG for System ACCT.

DEFINE SUBSYSTEM "GENLEDG"
    TO ENVIRONMENT "DEVEL"
       SYSTEM "ACCT"
    DESCRIPTION "The General Ledger Subsystem"
    NEXT SUBSYSTEM "GENLEDG" .
