PARTITION

Online maintenance of partitioning data in CA Datacom/DB tables is accomplished through the use of the PARTITION TABLE command. This command reacts in one of three ways depending on the value of the PARTITION attribute of the TABLE occurrence referenced:

If N, the message DDOL000479A TABLE PARTITION MUST BE Y OR P is displayed
If Y or R, the TUPU panel is displayed. This panel allows you to define the partitions of a partitioned table and assign each to an area.
If P, the TUCU panel is displayed. This panel allows you to define the partitioning information for a given table partition.

Use the following format for this command:

►►─┬─ PARTITION ─┬─ TABLE ─ occurrence-name ─┬─ STATUS xxxx ─┬────────────────►
   ├─ PART ──────┤                           └─ STA xxxx ────┘
   └─ PTN ───────┘

 ►─┬─────────────────┬─┬─────────────────┬────────────────────────────────────►◄
   ├─ PASSWORD xxxx ─┤ ├─ OVERRIDE xxxx ─┤
   └─ PSWD xxxx ─────┘ └─ OVRD xxxx ─────┘
