Referents: default definitions for a reopened stream
Prerequisite Concepts     Related Syntax  

defaulting is also allowed on a reopen action, but only one that has an as part, that is, one that explicitly specifies a stream attachment.

A referents-allowed in an open action, in a set (or set stream) action or in a reopen action that has an explicit stream association (that is, as) can have a defaulting part also, that describes the default referent value for the stream.

On the other hand, a "dynamic" reopen action, although it can specify referents-allowed (if it was originally opened with referents-allowed), cannot specify defaulting. In this case the originally specified defaulting, if any, on the open action that created the stream continues to apply. If there was no defaulting specified on the original open action, then the stream has no defaulting.
