SET Parameters for Partitioned Files
PART ( sec-partition-num , [\node.]$volume
 [ , pri-extent-size [ , [ sec-extent-size ]
 [ , partial-key-value ] ] ] )
PART
sets secondary partition specifications for partitioned files. Specify each secondary 
partition separately.
sec-partition-num , \node.$volume
names the volume where this secondary partition is to reside. Specify 
sec-partition-num as an integer from 1 through 15 to designate the 
secondary partition. For a Format 2 key sequenced file, specify 
sec-partition-num as an integer from 1 through 63 to designate the 
secondary partition. Specify node and volume as the names of the node and 
volume to contain the partition. The file name and the subvolume of the 
primary partition are specified when the file is created.
Although FUP allows to specify any number ranging from of 1 through 63 for 
sec-partition-num, FUP changes it to a standard DP2 number that starts 
at zero when the file is created. 
For a Format 2 key-sequenced file, specify sec-partition-num as an 
integer from 1 through 127 to designate the secondary partition.
pri-extent-size , sec-extent-size
sets the primary and secondary extent sizes. The default value for 
pri-extent-size is one page (2,048 bytes). If you specify a value of zero or 
do not specify a value, sec-extent-size defaults to the 
pri-extent-size value. When altering files, you cannot define primary or 
secondary extents as zero pages.
For partitioned unstructured files where one or more partitions reside on a disk 
drive in a disk drive enclosure, DP2 has additional restrictions. You must 
specify both the pri-extent-size and the sec-extent-size so that they 
can be explicitly divisible by 14. DP2 does not automatically round the size up. 
You can specify these values for pri-extent-size and 
sec-extent-size:
Note. Example 2-6, DETAIL Format for SQL Tables and Indexes and for Enscribe and 
OSS Files, on page 2-105 shows the DP2 number as listed in the INFO DETAIL 
command.
