Assigns a numeric value to a queue characteristic. The
    /CHARACTERISTIC qualifier is required. If a value has been
    assigned to the characteristic, you must delete and redefine
    the characteristic to alter the assignment of the existing
    characteristic.

    Requires OPER (operator) privilege.

                                   NOTE

       You cannot define more than one characteristic name to a
       number.

1  –  Parameters

 characteristic-name

    Assigns a name to the characteristic being defined. The
    characteristic name can be the name of an existing characteristic
    or a string of 1 to 31 characters that defines a new
    characteristic. The character string can include any uppercase
    and lowercase letters, digits, the dollar sign ($),  and the
    underscore (_),  and must include at least one alphabetic
    character. Only one characteristic name can be defined to each
    number.

 characteristic-number

    Assigns a number in the range 0 to 127 to the characteristic
    being defined.

2  –  Example

  $ DEFINE/CHARACTERISTIC REDINK 3

      The DEFINE/CHARACTERISTIC command in this example defines
      the characteristic REDINK with the number 3. When a user
      enters the command PRINT/CHARACTERISTICS=REDINK (or PRINT
      /CHARACTERISTICS=3), the job is printed only if the printer
      queue has been established with the REDINK or 3 characteristic.
