The VATLSTxx member contains an optional VATDEF statement, which
specifies a default use attribute, followed by entries that define
the mount and use attributes of DASD volumes.
Use the VATDEF statement in VATLSTxx to specify a default use attribute.
If you do not specify VATDEF, the system assigns a default of public to
those volumes that are not specifically assigned a use attribute in
the VATLSTxx member or in a MOUNT command. VATDEF must be the first
entry in the first VATLSTxx member you specify in the VAL= operand;
the system ignores any later specifications of VATDEF that might appear
in other VATLSTxx members.
The following is the syntax for the VATDEF statement. Unlike DASD
volume entries in VATLSTxx members, the VATDEF statement is not column-dependent
but it also cannot be continued on another line.
VATDEF
{PUBLIC }
IPLUSE( {PRIVATE} )
{STORAGE}
{PUBLIC }
SYSUSE( {PRIVATE} )
{STORAGE}
- VATDEF
- The default for use attributes for DASD volumes. If you specify
VATDEF without any operands, the system uses the operands IPLUSE(PUBLIC)
and SYSUSE(PUBLIC).
- IPLUSE
- The use attribute default that the system applies to permanently
resident volumes that are brought online during IPL (that is, have
no VATLST entry, or whose use attribute is not specified correctly
in VATLSTxx).
- SYSUSE
- The use attribute default that the system applies to volumes that
are varied online after IPL and have no entry in a VATLSTxx member.
- PUBLIC
- Sets the default use attribute to public. This operand
is the default for VATDEF IPLUSE and VATDEF SYSUSE.
- PRIVATE
- Sets the default use attribute to private.
- STORAGE
- Sets the default use attribute to storage.
