VMTAPE CONFIG File Record Reference › EDITDEF Record › Field Names in GRW Reports › Example

Example

In the following example, each field is defined in terms of its relative offset from the beginning of the ACCT field (byte 0), using Format 1 of the EDITDEF record:

1. Define an 8-byte jobname field as the first eight bytes of the 50-byte ACCT field in the VMTAPE CONFIG file. Users can insert and modify data in this field using the MOUNT and CATALOG commands. They can also have the contents of this field displayed with the output of the LIST command:

   editdef jobname +0 char8 user display
   

2. Define a 4-byte security field after the jobname field:

   editdef security +8 char4 user display
   

3. Define a 6-byte volser field after the security field:

   editdef volser +12 char6 user display
   

4. Define a 6-byte internal volser field called intvs after the volser field:

   editdef intvs +18 char6 user display
