SETDEFAULT—Define Default Values

The SETDEFAULT definition can be coded multiple times in this member. The default values assigned are in effect from that point forward.

Format of the data:

RESETDefault

SETDEFAULT
  TYPE           000
  SUBType        000
  DESC           ' '
  FORMAT         @
ENDDEFAULT 

DEFine
  TYPE           nnn
  SUBType        nnn
  DESC           'enclose description in single quotes'
  FORMAT         module
ENDdefine

The following describes each keyword:

DEFine

Begins the definition.

TYPE

Specifies the SMF record type.

The value must be in the range of 0 to 255.

The type and subtype values can also be defined together as 000:000.

If the first character of the type or subtype value in type:subtype is an "x", then the value is interpreted as a hexadecimal value.

SUBType

Specifies the SMF record subtype.

Some but not all SMF records have subtypes. The value must be in the range of 0 to 255.

DESC

Provides the SMF record description.

The description of the record must be enclosed in single quotes. The maximum description length is 48 characters, not including the single quotes.

FORMAT

Specifies the name of the record-formatting module.

Any valid member name can be used.

• * - Code the "*" as a placeholder. If coded, then no format routine is used.
• @ - Code the "@" to use the default formatting routine supplied with the product.

If there is a request to format an SMF record and a format routine is not available, then the record displays in dump format.

ENDDEFINE

(Optional) Ends the definition.

SETDEFAULT

Begins the default values definition.

ENDDEFAULT

Ends the default values definition.

RESETDefault

Resets default definition values back to the following original defaults:

TYPE         000
SUBTYPE      000
DESC         ' '
FORMAT       @

Notes:

• Records containing an "*" in column 1 or blanks in columns 1:72 are ignored.
• Record format routines are supplied in the following modules for the specified record types and subtypes:

• The SAMPLIB member SMFF0017 contains sample source code for writing a record formatting routine.
