FILE_ALTERLIST_ Procedure
93 * Partition-volume names. A string containing the concatenated 
names of all the secondary partition volumes, ordered by 
partition number. You can add new names or change old 
names; you cannot delete partition volume names. Each name 
occupies exactly the number of characters specified in the 
corresponding entry of item 92, hence the total length of this 
item is the sum of the values in item 92. Partially qualified 
volume names are resolved using the contents of the caller’s 
=_DEFAULTS DEFINE. The volume name can be a full eight 
characters (including the dollar sign) only if the system 
(specified or implied) is the same as the system on which the 
primary partition resides.
97 * Partition descriptors (32-bit). An array of 8-byte values, one for 
each secondary partition. Each entry has the following 
structure:
INT (32) priextentsize;
INT (32) secextentsize;
These values give the primary and secondary extent sizes in 
pages. For Format 1 files, the size must be less than 65,535 
pages. Format 2 is required for extent sizes over 65,535 
pages. The length of this item in bytes is eight times item 90.
98 * Partition-volume relative names-length array. An array of INT 
byte counts, each giving the length of the volume-relative name 
(supplied in item 99) where the corresponding extra partition 
resides. The length of this item is two times item 90.
