CANDIDATE--The volume is a candidate for storing the data or index component. CAND-SPACE--The volume is a candidate for storing the data or index component, and it has a primary extent preallocated (the data set was defined with a guaranteed-space storage class). OVERFLOW--The volume is an overflow volume on which data records in a key range are stored. The KEYRANGE begins on another (PRIME) volume. PRIME--The volume is the first volume on which data records in a key range are stored. VOLSER--The serial number of the volume. (1) Multiple key ranges can reside on a single volume; the volumes group is repeated for each such key range field. hth, Dave ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
