'Partitions are defined within the dynamic area, located in the upper
portion of main storage, at system generation. The number of
partitions may then be varied within the number specified at system
generation, and the sizes and job classes of partitions may be
redefined at system initialization or during operation.'
and
'Partition redefinition is invoked in either of two ways, depending on
whether it is to be invoked during or after system initialization. At
system initialization, the partition configuration may be changed by
replying "YES" to message IEE801D "CHANGE PARTITIONS?". Alternatively,
partition redefinition may be invoked after system initialization by
entering the operator command, DEFINE. The format of this command is
shown in the Operator's Reference publication.'
