Guardian Procedure Calls Reference Manual

key-len
specifies the length, in bytes, of the alternate-key field:
• If the alternate keys are unique, the maximum alternate key length is 253 bytes.
• If primary-key-ordered duplicate alternate keys are allowed, the maximum alternate
key length is (253 – primary-key length).
• If insertion-ordered duplicate alternate keys are allowed, the maximum alternate
key length is (245 – primary-key length).
NOTE: The limits for key-length and key-offset for an alternate key are not
increased for the CREATE procedure in H06.28/J06.17 RVUs with specific SPRs and
later RVUs. These two limits have been increased in the superseding FILE_CREATELIST_
procedure.
key-filenum
is the relative number in the alternate-key parameter array of this key's alternate-key
file. The first alternate-key file's key-filenum = 0.
File Name
The file name for file f consists of 12 words, beginning at:
[nk * 4 + 1 + f * 12]
This file name has the form:
$volname (blank-fill)[0:3]
or
\sysnum volname (blank-fill)
subvol-name (blank-fill)[4:7]
file-id (blank-fill)[8:11]
partition-params
input
INT:ref:*
is an array containing parameters that describe this file. It applies only if the file is a multivolume
file. If the file is to span multiple volumes, this parameter is required; otherwise, you can omit
it. If included, and you do not want partitions, the first word must be 0. The array has this form:
num-of-extra-partitions[1]Number of Words
$volname or \sysnumvolname for partition 1[4]
:
$volname or \sysnumvolname for partition n
primary-extent-size for partition 1[1]
:
primary-extent-size for partition n
secondary-extent-size for partition 1[1]
:
secondary-extent-size for partitiont n
