CATTR normally generates an element definition (ED, 03) ESD entry for the
specified element name. If PART is specified it will generate a part
definition (PR, 07) ESD entry instead.
Note that if you do not specify GOFF, CATTR statements will be quietly
ignored, as documented:
Syntax Checking Only: If you code a CATTR instruction but do
not specify the GOFF or XOBJECT option, the assembler checks
the syntax of the instruction statement and does not process
the attributes.
