FILE_CREATELIST_ Procedure
198 4 Key offset (32-bit). For key-sequenced disk files, the byte offset 
from the beginning of the record to the primary key field. This 
an alternate form for item 45; one of the two items is required 
for key-sequenced files.   
199 4 Primary extent size (32-bit). The size in pages (2048-byte 
units) of the first extent. If omitted or 0, a size of 1 is used. The 
value can be rounded during creation to a multiple of the block 
size. For Format 1 files, the size must be less than 65,536. 
This is an alternate form for item 50.   
200 4 Secondary extent size (32-bit). The size in pages (2048-byte 
units) of extents after the first extent. If 0 or omitted, the size of 
the primary extent is used. The value can be rounded during 
creation to a multiple of the block size. For Format 1 files, the 
size must be less than 65,536. This is an alternate form for 
item 51.
212 2 Block checksumming option. For Format 2 structured files, 
specifies whether data protection needs to be used through 
checksum calculation and comparison (1 specified if needed 
and 0 if not needed). If omitted or -1 is specified, the default 
value 1 is used. This item is ignored for files that do not support 
a checksum option.
221 * Partition maximum extents array. This item is an array of INT 
values that specify the maximum extents for each secondary 
partition. This item is optional and can only be specified for key-
sequenced files. If present, it must be supplied at some point 
after item 90 (number of partitions) and item 41 (file type). If this 
item is not present, FILE_CREATELIST_ will use the maximum 
extents value for the file (item 52) and apply it to each 
secondary partition. The length of the item is 2 times the 
number of partitions (item 90).
