Package attribute file

Each package contains a package attribute file. The name of this file is GIMPAF.XML and it is stored in the package directory identified by the SMPDIR DD statement. The file contains package definition control tags that describe the contents of the package and how the package was created. The package definition control tags follow XML syntax rules.

The format of the package definition control tags is as follows:
