NAME


expandlf - expand an RMSfile

SYNOPSIS


expandlf datafile #records

DESCRIPTION


This command expands an existing hashed RMSfile so that it contains the
number of records specified by the #records argument.  If #records has
a leading plus (+) sign, the RMSfile is expanded by that many additional
records.  If #records has a leading minus (-) sign, the RMSfile is 
contracted by that many records.  If there is no leading sign, the RMSfile
size is changed so that it contains the number of records specified by
the #records argument.  This command expands the named RMSfile in place.

If there is insufficient disk space to hold both the original file and its 
expanded copy simultaneously, the RMSfile cannot be expanded.

NOTES


If the datafile argument has the form dbname ~lfile or ~lfile, expandlf
expands the RMSfile using the database name dbname and the logical file
name lfile.  If the datafile argument has the form filename (i.e. it has
neither a ~ nor / in the name), then it is taken as a logical file name,
filename, using the default database name.
