CHARDEF

indicates that CHARDEF parameters will be entered. You can enter CHARDEF parameters in any order because each parameter is independent. You can use any or all of the CHARDEF parameters.

Note: Remember to key in a comma between the word CHARDEF and the first parameter. If you omit the comma, CA IDMS Schema Mapper generates an error message.

Do not use a blank space for a character value in the CHARDEF statement. CA IDMS Schema Mapper ignores the blank and uses the default.
