Checking the Size of Database Files
Checking the Size of Database Files
This subsection explains how to check the size of critical database files in order to 
prevent a “file full” error (error 45) from occurring. For summary information relating to 
problems you might encounter with files, see Solving Common System Process 
Problems on page 4-11.
To check the size of any file on your system, enter:
> FUP INFO filename, DETAIL
A report similar to the following is sent to your home terminal:
This report shows that FILEA is 58.2 percent full. When database files become 90 
percent full or more, you can modify the file extents dynamically with FUP or perform 
other procedures as determined by your local system policies.
Example
To check the size of the file DATA1.MEMOS, enter:
> FUP INFO DATA1.MEMOS, DETAIL
A report such as this is sent to your home terminal:
