Values

size is the number of records.

Other than the leading * for *NOMAX, it can be any valid value. (To specify *NOMAX, enter 'NOMAX'.)

The values for Initial Number of Records, Increment Number of Records, and Maximum increments are comma-separated, not space-separated.

Examples:

  • 1000,100,100
  • 10000,499
  • 50000

UDM uses this value as the default file SIZE attribute. (See UDM - IBM i LIB File System Attributes for details.)

Default is empty string.
