File manager
Function
Decreases the size of a Model 204 file by deallocating a portion of the file space

Syntax

DECREASE {TABLEB n [DYNAMIC|DYN]} | {TABLED | TABLEE | TABLEX} n

Where:

  • n is the number of pages in the specified file table to be reassigned to free space. You can free only pages that are not currently in use. The legal value for n depends upon the settings of the file parameters, as follows:

    • If TABLEB is specified, n must be in the range 1 through (BSIZE - BHIGHPG - 1).

    • If TABLED is specified, n must be in the range 1 through the value of DSIZE less the value of DHIGHPG. (See "Usage notes" below.)

    • If TABLEE is specified, n must be in the range 1 through (ESIZE - EHIGHPG -1). Additionally, you cannot decrease the size of Table E below 20 pages; thus (ESIZE - n) must be greater than or equal to 20.

    • If TABLEX is specified, n must be in the range 1 through (XSIZE - XHIGHPG -1).

  • DYNAMIC or DYN specifies that Table B is to be decreased even if the file is open and has requests compiled against it.

Examples

DECREASE TABLED 14

DECREASE TABLEB 500 DYN

Usage notes

The DECREASE command allows the file manager to conserve file space by deallocating a certain portion of a Model 204 file. Unused pages in Table B (except for hash key files) and Table D can be reassigned to free space. The sizes of Tables A and C cannot be changed without recreating the file and reloading all of the data.

The DECREASE command can be issued only in file context, that is, the current default must be a file, not a group.

When it processes a DECREASE command, Model 204 ends any update unit in progress and begins a non-backoutable update unit.

To use the DECREASE command you must have update authority to the selected file. If the file is open for read-only access, the DECREASE command is rejected with the following message:

M204.1036: UPDATES NOT PERMITTED.
