FUP Commands
trail files are rejected with file-system error 2 (operation not allowed on this type of
file). To let FUP continue after receiving such errors, use the FUP ALLOW
ERRORS command.
DEALLOCATE works only with SQL files that are SQL object files. On other SQL
files, you must use SQLCI ALTER instead.
If you specify the CLEARONPURGE option (with the SECURE command) for a
file, a subsequent DEALLOCATE command physically clears the data from the
deallocated extents of the file.
To deallocate volume directory extents, you must use this file name syntax for
fileset-list:
$volume.SYS00.DIRECTRY
For enhanced key-sequenced files, the DEALLOCATE command deallocates
unused extents of secondary partitions but the extents of the primary partition
remain unchanged.
DEALLOCATE command with PART ONLY option and fileset-list as primary
partition of an enhanced key-sequenced file is executed, but the extents of the
primary partition remain unchanged.
DEALLOCATE Example
To deallocate the unused extents past the EOF of MYFILE:
-DEALLOCATE MYFILE

Lets the COPY, INFO, and SHOW commands display 8-bit characters.
The DISPLAYBITS command became an option of the CONFIG[URE] command with
the D30 product version of FUP. However, for compatibility purposes, any FUP product
versions prior to the D30 RVU continue to recognize the DISPLAYBITS option as
command syntax. For more information, see
