When you invoke GDE and no Global Directory exists for GTM$GBLDIR, GDE produces a default Global Directory that contains a minimal set of required components and values for database characteristics. It can be used for purposes such as development and testing work. A default Global Directory also serves as a starting point or template for building custom global directories.

	Note
	The default Global Directory is not suitable for production applications, unless the database size is very small.

To retain this default Global Directory, exit GDE without making any changes.

Example:

    
            
    $ GDE
    %GDE-I-GDUSEDEFS, using defaults for global directory filename.ext
    GDE> EXIT
    %GDE-I-VERIFY, Verification okay
    %GDE-I-GDCREATE, creating global directory GTM$GBLDIR.GLO
