Cmd
Use the following line commands to manipulate the panel rows containing partition information:
I

In
Insert n new rows.
R
Repeat the current row.
Rn
Repeat the current row n times.
D

Dn
Delete n rows.
Pt. No.
Partition number
VCAT Name
This is used to specify user-defined data sets. It is mutually exclusive with a STOGROUP name.
STOGROUP Name
This is used to specify a (Db2®) storage group name. Specifying a storage group name means that Db2® creates the data sets for the partition. It is mutually exclusive with a VCAT name.
Primary Space
This is used to specify the primary space allocation for the partition (in kilobytes).
Secondary Space
This is used to specify the secondary space allocation for the partition (in kilobytes).
Erase Data
This corresponds to the ERASE YES/NO clause in the 'USING' block. ERASE YES means that the data sets associated with the partition are overwritten with binary zeros when the partition is deleted (dropped).
Free Pages
Free pages results in Db2® leaving an empty page every n pages (n is what is specified).
% Free
The value specified here results in Db2® leaving n% (n is what is specified) of each page free.
Use Data Cmpr?
This corresponds to the COMPRESS NO/YES clause. YES means the data is stored in compressed format.
Group BP Caching
This corresponds to the GBPCACHE clause of the create statement (for each partition). This option only applies in a data sharing environment.
TRACK MOD
Specifies whether Db2® tracks modified pages in the space map pages of the table space or partition. Do not specify TRACKMOD for a LOB table space. For a table space in a TEMP database, Db2® uses TRACKMOD NO regardless of the value specified.
