──┬─────────────┬─<device mnemonic>────┬───────────────────────────────┤ ├─ KIND ── = ─┘ │ └─ KIND ── = ── # ──<string primary>─┘
Explanation
The KIND attribute specifies the type of device the file resides on.
The KIND = portion of the syntax is optional; it is enough to simply list the device mnemonic.
Examples
The following two examples are equivalent:
FILE FILEA (TITLE = A/B, KIND = DISK);
FILE FILEA (TITLE = A/B, DISK);
The device mnemonic assigns a mnemonic value to the KIND attribute. For a list of the valid mnemonic values, refer to the description of the KIND attribute in the File Attributes Programming Reference Manual.
