are:
The FUP process rounds the extent size up to the next full page. If you
specify 2,047 bytes, FUP allocates one page. If you specify 2,049 bytes,
FUP allocates two pages.
0:maximum REC[S]
specifies the extent size based on the current settings for
record-length
(REC),
data-block-length
(BLOCK),
index-block-length
(IBLOCK), key-field lengths, and compression
settings. Possible values are:
The FUP process rounds the extent size up to the next full page.
0:maximum MEGABYTE[S]

such as block size. The system chooses Format 2 when the partition size is over
2 GB minus 1 MB. For files that are not key-sequenced, the total size is 4 GB or
more.
