Extended Functions of ASF › Specifying Underlying Table Characteristics

Specifying Underlying Table Characteristics

Each table defined through ASF includes underlying characteristics automatically supplied by ASF. You can use the Extended Table Definition screen to control aspects of the table definition process usually handled by ASF.

A sample Extended Table Definition screen is shown below.

Extended Table Definition Functions

The Extended Table Definition screen can be used to:

• Assign a table to an area other than the default area automatically assigned by ASF, or move the table to a new area.
• Specify how space in the database is to be allocated for storing rows of the table.
• Limit the use of the table, both through ASF and outside ASF.
