<h1 class="topictitle1">Method of allocating storage</h1>
<div><p>The CONTIG parameter controls the method of allocating physical
storage for a member (CRTPF and CRTSRCPF commands). </p>
<div class="p"> If you allocate storage, you can request that the storage for the starting
record count for a member be contiguous. That is, all the records in a member
are to physically reside together. If there is not enough contiguous storage,
contiguous storage allocation is not used and an informational message is
sent to the job that requests the allocation, at the time the member is added. <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> When
a physical file is first created, the system always tries to allocate its
initial storage contiguously. The only difference between using CONTIG(*NO)
and CONTIG(*YES) is that with CONTIG(*YES) the system sends a message to the
job log if it is unable to allocate contiguous storage when the file is created.
No message is sent when a file is extended after creation, regardless of what
you specified on the CONTIG parameter.</div>
