Defining storage locations: LOCDEF

Use the LOCDEF command to define installation defined storage locations to DFSMSrmm. You can also use LOCDEF to set the priority for shelf locations and system-managed tape libraries. The LOCDEF command in Figure 1 defines the location MIKESLOC, which accepts media with the media name SQUARE, and which is shelf-managed.
