Table 17: Limit values for file sizes

You can ascertain the logical realm size in the following ways:

  • The DAL command DISPLAY FPA will output the current logical realm size NR PAGES and the number of free database pages NR FREE PAGES which the realm contains.

  • The command DISPLAY REALM of the utility routine BSTATUS will display the logical realm size (SPACE USED BY REALM / TOTAL NR OF PAGES) and detailed information on the free space which the realm contains.

  • The command DISPLAY PAGE ZERO of the utility routine BPRECORD will display the logical realm size (FPA BASE / TOTAL NR PAGES).

Use the BS2000 command SHOW-FILE-ATTRIBUTES to output information on the physical realm size i. e. the number of PAM pages which have already been reserved, and on the current secondary assignment setting (SECONDARY-ALLOCATION) of the realm file. Both these specifications are also up to date for an open realm file.
