Hi Allen,

If I know in advance that I'm adding a large number of records
to a file, is there any way to force the file to "grow" in advance?

You could do this with the MINIMUM.MODULUS parameter but the whole point of dynamic files is that they do their own tuning. Although a dynamic file is unlikely to be as good as a perfectly tuned static file, it will be a lot better than a typical static file that has been left alone for a long while.

Another important point is that a split affects only one (or arguably two) groups unlike resizing a static file from modulo N to modulo N+1 which would affect every group.

My real point here is that it is usually best to let a dynamic file look after itself.
