Definition

The segment definition release specifies the system release for which the segment definition was activated (released). If the segment definition has not been activated yet, the release is blank or 0.

The system release is specified in a three-character format.

Example : 30A, 45A

If a segment definition, i.e. a version of a segment, has been defined for a certain release (for example, 30A), it remains active until the next version is created (for example, for 31G). The definition for 30A still remains valid for the releases in between. Using this principle, the versions that were active for a release are determined by specifying the release explicitly.

Previous versions can be used by specifying a release explicitly.

The SPACE entry can be used to determine the latest version of a segment, irrespective or whether it has been activated (released) or not.

Only specify a release explicitly if you want to refer to a certain previous version.
