DEFINE

causes field-name1 to be reset to the value with which it is initialized every time a new record is processed. Synonyms are created by defining field-name1 to be equal to an existing field-name2, keyword, or work item. All numeric fields generated by a DEFINE statement are subject to automatic processing functions.

DEFINE(K)

is generally used to generate a new-field that contains a constant value, or contents that are to be maintained by you. CA JARS Wizard does not reset the field.

Automatic processing functions are not performed on numeric fields generated by a DEFINE(K) statement.

The current value of a character field is printed when generated by a DEFINE(K) statement in a detail or summary line, if the field is specified in the LIST statement, and even if it is not a BREAK field.
