Re: Getting CPD3216 "SIZE less than current size for file XTRA9" when SIZE parm isn't specified on CHGPF

Ugghhh. I asked the customer to prompt the QSYS/CHGPF command on their
system, and SIZE defaults to (30000 30000 12), so the max file size is
390,000 records. W. T. Living H.? This is their production system!

Anyway, I advised customer to reset the command defaults back to (*SAME
*SAME *SAME) and that should resolve it. And, in case anyone asks, our
software qualifies the use of all IBM commands it uses to QSYS, so if they
really wanted to (???), they can duplicate CHGPF to another library higher
in the system library list and change the defaults there. But, really.

Thanks for everyone's responses!

Hi Marc,

The file currently has 1900000 records in it. I am waiting for the DSPFD
listing from the client. Regardless, the existing file's SIZE attributes
(Initial number of records, Increment number of records, and Maximum
increments) would have to accommodate the number of records already in the
file. I think, anyway.

Does this make any sense? Command is:
QSYS/CHGPF FILE(OI9LIB/XTRA9) SRCFILE( OI9LIBS/QDDSSRC) SRCMBR( XTRA9)

When I prompt the CHGPF command, the default for SIZE is *SAME.

In that case, *SAME might refer to initial size, and your file got some
increments?

What is the initial size versus the current one?

Not sure at all, just thinking.
