Storage Statement

The optional storage statement provides a hint to management applications to assist in optimizing storage requirements.

The syntax is:

storage = where
Where

Specifies the storage area. It can be common or specific. Common signifies that the value of this attribute is typically limited to a small set of possibilities. An example of common can be the clock speed of a CPU. Specific signifies that the value of this attribute is probably not a good candidate for optimization, because there can be many different values. An example of a specific attribute would be a component's serial number.

If the storage statement is not specified, the default storage is specific. Only one storage statement can appear in the attribute definition.
