Usage notes
The Model 204 default file or group is the file or group upon which Model 204 operates unless a particular file or group is specified in a command or User Language request. There is only one default in effect at a time.
If neither FILE nor GROUP is specified in the DEFAULT command, Model 204 attempts to determine what the default should be. Model 204 first searches for a temporary group that has the specified name. If a temporary group cannot be found, Model 204 searches for a permanent group, and then for a file.
Issue the DEFAULT command whenever the old default file or group is closed.
Note: The OPEN command automatically establishes a new default file or group, but the OPENC command does not.
