When you use the FILE command to create a new file, RISE asks you for the maximum number of records
the file will contain. If, for example, you specified 10 lines for the new file, entered 10, and discovered that
you had more lines to add to the file, RISE would return the following message:
Error 147:
Using X[PAND] with the number of records you wish to add, you could enlarge the size of the file as
desired. RISE would respond with the following message, when the expansion is accomplished:
Xpand completed.
Execution mode:
Examples
The following is a legal abbreviation which may be used with the XPAND command and its parameters:
X100 Increase the file limit size of the current work file by 100 records.
In the example, a KSAM file is created with a maximum number of 3 records (1). An attempt to LIST the
complete contents of the file results in an error message because, at this point, the file is empty (2). A
second error is caused by an attempt to enter more records into the file than were specified as the
maximum number previously (3). The XPAND command is used to expand the maximum number of
records the file will accept by ten (4). When the ADD command is again employed, the file accepts the
additional records (5).
