Allocate Examples - HP T6553 D45 Reference Manual

FUP Commands
For nonpartitioned files and partitioned files that are not key sequenced, it is the
total number of extents to be allocated to the file.
An example is trying to allocate 12 additional extents to a nonpartitioned file that
already has four extents allocated and trying to allocate 12 additional extents for
the primary partition of a key-sequenced file that already has four extents
allocated. Although you need to specify 16 for num-extents in both instances,
you must include the PARTONLY option with the key-sequenced file specification
so that the 12 extents are allocated only to the primary partition.
Note. You can allocate more than 16 extents on the last partition only when you use the
PARTONLY option with the ALLOCATE command.

The ALLOCATE command cannot handle SQL files that are not SQL object files.
You must use the SQLCI CREATE and SQLCI ALTER commands.

To allocate volume directory extents for fileset-list, you must use this file
name syntax:
$volume.SYS00.DIRECTRY

For an enhanced key-sequenced file, the ALLOCATE command assigns specified
extents for secondary partitions, but the extents of the primary partition remain
unchanged.

ALLOCATE 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.

ALLOCATE Examples

To create an unstructured file and allocate 10 file extents for it:
1. To create an unstructured file when the default file-creation attributes are enabled:
-CREATE YRFILE
2. Use the FUP INFO, DETAIL command to see that no file extents are initially
allocated for the file:
-INFO YRFILE, DETAIL
$BOOKS1.COMLANG.YRFILE
