Initial Attribute Settings
A DEFINE attribute might have an initial setting, depending on whether it is:
•
A default attribute — has an initial default value. For example, the default value for
CLASS is MAP.
•
A required attribute — does not have an initial value. You must specify a value for
each required attribute before you can create a DEFINE. The required attributes for
each DEFINE class are:
•
An optional attribute has no initial value and does not require a value. OWNER and
DENSITY are optional attributes for a TAPE DEFINE.
