The "Enterprise Database Server DASDL Programming Reference Manual" alludes that "new areas can also be allocated as the result of delete operations". Unfortunately, no further information is given as to when can that happen and under what conditions,or exactly how are those new areas created (since one hopes it is not on a 1-to-1 basis...).
Can anyone point me to where I could find more information about that?I may have answered my own question... the data set in question is a STANDARD data set, and I see in the description of the "AREAS" option that "enough available space is allocated to avoid run-time limit errors even if all records in the data set are
Is there a way to estimate the potential increase in the area size of a DMSII structure that can be caused by a delete operation based on the number of records to be deleted?
