FILE_CREATELIST_ Procedure
The items 187 and188 are optional when creating a partitioned SMF file. These
items must both be supplied if either is supplied; they must be supplied at some point
after item 90 (number of partitions) and must be supplied as consecutive items in the
order presented here:
187 * Partition physical volume name-length array. For SMF files, an
array of INT values that give, for each extra (secondary)
partition, a length for the physical volume name, which is
supplied in item 188. If a length is 0, the corresponding extra
partition has its physical volume selected by the SMF
subsystem. A length must be 0 if the corresponding partition
volume (in item 93) is not a SMF virtual volume. The length of
this item is 2 times the number of partitions (item 90).
188 * Partition physical volume names. For SMF files, contains the
concatenated names of the secondary partition physical
volumes. Each name occupies the number of characters
specified in the corresponding entry of item 187; the total
length of this item equals the sum of the values in item 187.
The names can be partially qualified, in which case the missing
node name is taken from the =_DEFAULTS DEFINE. Each
physical volume must be a member of the pool associated with
the corresponding partition volume given in item 93.
195 2 File format. File format can be 0, 1, or 2. Format 1 files allow
only as many as 4 KB blocks and as many as 2 GB partitions.
Format 2 files allow larger blocks and partitions. The value 0
(the default) specifies that the system select the format based
on the values of other parameters.
196 4 Logical record length (32-bit). For structured disk files, the
maximum number of bytes in a logical record. If omitted, 80 is
used. This is an alternate form for item 43.
197 4 Block length (32-bit). For structured files, the size of a block of
records. For unstructured files, the unstructured buffer size.
Currently, the maximum supported value, which is also the
default value, is 4096. This is an alternate form for item 44.
Table 5-3. FILE_CREATELIST_ Item Codes (page 11 of 12)
Items in this table with a size of 2 bytes are of data type INT. The term “disk file”
applies only to Enscribe files. The term “disk object” applies to Enscribe files and
SQL objects.
