<h1 class="topictitle1">Size of the physical file member</h1>
<div><p>The SIZE parameter specifies the maximum number of records that
can be placed in each member (CRTPF, CHGPF, CRTSRCPF, AND CHGSRCPF commands).</p>
<p>The following formula can be used to determine the maximum:</p>
<p>R + (I * N)</p>
<div class="p">where:<dl><dt class="dlterm">R</dt>
<dd>is the starting record count</dd>
<dt class="dlterm">I</dt>
<dd>is the number of records (increment) to add each time</dd>
<dt class="dlterm">N</dt>
<dd>is the number of times to add the increment</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<div class="p">The defaults for the SIZE parameter are:<dl><dt class="dlterm">R</dt>
<dd>10 000</dd>
<dt class="dlterm">I</dt>
<dd>1000</dd>
<dt class="dlterm">N</dt>
<dd>3 (CRTPF command)</dd>
<dt class="dlterm"></dt>
<dd>499 (CRTSRCPF command)</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<p>For example, assume that R is a file created for 5000 records plus 3 increments
of 1000 records each. The system can add 1000 to the initial record count
of 5000 three times to make the total maximum 8000. When the
total maximum is reached, the system operator either stops the job or tells
the system to add another increment of records and continue. When increments
are added, a message is sent to the system history log. When the file is extended
beyond its maximum size, the minimum extension is 10% of the current size,
even if this is larger than the specified increment. Instead of taking the
default size or specifying a size, you can specify *NOMAX. </p>
