MODTA: modify type attributes

MODTA defines type attributes.

LD specifies the library, TD the member type. TA sets the applicable (version) convention and the supertype. The storage mode allowed for members of the type can be defined and the borrowing mechanism can be activated. The type administration privilege determines the group of users with administration privileges for the type. Only users with this privilege are allowed to create, delete and rename members. These settings have priority over values set by MODLA.

PA defines presettings for member protection and the group of users with borrowing privileges for the type.

Notes

• The definition of the SUPER-TYPE must be non-recursive (tree structure).

• No supertypes can be declared for standard types (those one character long or beginning with $ or SYS).
