Before you begin
Named types enable scoping of user actions for one or more resource
types. For example, an IBM-supplied named type of JAVASCRIPT consists of .js
files, the GRAPHIC type consists of .bmp, .gif, and .jpg files, and so on.
Named types make it easy to match one or more resource types to a collection
of files. You might want to edit an existing type to change the kinds of files
that are scoped. You can not edit IBM-supplied types, but you can create a
new type based on an IBM-supplied type by using copy and paste. To work with
named types:
Procedure
- In the Remote Systems view, right-click on a file subsystem, and
select .
- On the Work With Named Types window, select one of the named types
on the left side of the window, or click New named type.
- If you selected an existing type, you can change the file type associated
by selecting and deselecting file extensions in the extension list.
- If you selected to create a new named type, enter a name for the type,
and then select the file extensions that will represent that name.
- If you copied and pasted a type, select the copy and edit it as you
would an existing type. You can also edit the name.
- Click Apply or click Revert to undo
all modifications.
- Click Close.
