(1) Format

mcfxxxx -i [path-name] input-file-name

Definition	Startup command
MCF manager definition	mcfmngr
Common definition	mcfcomn

(2) Function

These commands input the definition source file, check the statements, then create a definition object file. The object file should not be changed between a start and a restart. If changed, the restart operation is not guaranteed.

(3) Options

-i [path-name] input-file-name~<path name> <1-8 character identifier>
Specify the name of the definition source file.
-o [path-name] output-file-name~<path name> <1-8 alphanumeric character>
Specify the name of the definition object file. For an MCF manager definition, specify a file name starting with the three characters _mu.
If you do not want the MCF application definitions to be checked by the dcdefchk command (which checks the values specified in system definition files), specify a file name that begins with an underscore (_).
