ALLOCATE
Allocates file extents for a disk file. This command applies only to Enscribe files.
fileset-list
is a list of disk files for which extents are to be allocated. You can specify
qualified-fileset
for this
fileset-list
.
num-extents
is the total number of extents to be allocated to the file.
For nonpartitioned Disk Process 2 (DP2) files and key-sequenced partitioned files,
specify
num-extents
as a value from 1 through
maximum-extents
.
maximum-extents
is the number of extents set with the MAXEXTENTS file
attribute when the file was created or last altered. The default value for
maximum-extents
is 16. For more information, see
SET
on page 2-171.
For partitioned files that are not key-sequenced, specify
num-extents
as a value
from 1 through 16 multiplied by the number of partitions. Each partition is allocated
16 extents (beginning with the start of the file) until the total
num-extents
are
allocated.
PARTONLY
allocates extents to any primary and secondary partitions of partitioned files in
fileset-list
. If a primary partition name is referenced, the extents are
allocated only to the primary partition. If you omit PARTONLY, FUP allocates
extents to all the partitioned files in
fileset-list
. PARTONLY has no effect on
nonpartitioned files.
ALLOCATE Guidelines
num-extents
has a different significance for different file types. For
key-sequenced partition files, it is the number of extents allocated in each partition.
