No, the DEFINE.DF command creates a data file and a dictionary. They are actual files on the disk. However you cannot access the type 27 data file. You can only list or add records if you have at least one part file added. The type 27 file has a modulus of 1.

This gives me an idea. Did you explicitly create a master distributed file? I used to create them with the following sequence: CREATE.FILE DICT MASTER. CREATE.FILE DATA MASTER.1 DEFINE.DF MASTER. ADDING MASTER.1 PART 1 (or whatever the correct syntax is). I'm guessing that because I explicitly didn't create the data portion, it didn't get created ... :-) It still worked fine...
