**CEDA DEIFNE:**

**CEDA INSTALL GROUP(grp name)**

- CEDA DEFINE MAPSET(INTSET1) GROUP(INTGRP)

**CEDA INSTALL GROUP(grp name)**

- CEDA DEFINE FILE(INTMST) GROUP(INTGRP)

**CEDA INSTALL GROUP(grp name**)

- CEDA DEFINE TRANSACTION(INT1) GROUP(INTGRP)

**Other CEDA Commands:**

**ADD** – Adds a group to a list.

```
ADD GROUP(ccpct) LIST(initlist)

ALTER PROGRAM(cctstpgm) GROUP(ccppt) 
You must install the group for the changes to take place.
