On the VBUILD definition statement, the name operand assigns a name to the generic resource preference table. On the GRPREF definition statement, the name operand assigns a name to the generic resource preferences. The GRPREF name must match the name of the generic resource; however, a GRPREF definition can be defined before the generic resource becomes active.

If a generic resource table is defined, then the first GRPREF definition that does not have a name is used to define the default generic resource preferences. It will be displayed with a name of **NAMELESS**. If a generic resource preferences table is not defined or is defined without a nameless entry, then a default generic resource preference will be automatically activated. It will be displayed with a name of **DEFAULT**. The default generic resource preferences are used for generic resource resolution of any generic resource name not found in the generic resource preference table.
