Guardian Procedure Calls Reference Manual

• If a partition or alternate-key file is not accessible, error 3 or 4 is returned. The accessible
partitions or alternate-key files are still altered.
• Exceeding the file system file label space
An attempt to create a file receives an error 1027 if the file system file label space for the
primary partition would be exceeded.
If the file specification has up to 16 partitions, reduce the number of alternate-key files, alternate
keys, extents, secondary partitions and/or the size of the partition keys.
If the file specification has more than 16 partitions, reduce the number of alternate-key files,
alternate keys, and/or extents.
OSS Considerations
This procedure operates on Guardian objects only. If an OSS file is specified, error 1163 is
returned.
Example
itemlist := 42; ! change file code
numberitems := 1;
val := 55; ! new file code is 55
val^length := 2;
error := FILE_ALTERLIST_ ( fname:length, itemlist,
numberitems,
val, val^length );
