Expanding a Folder
When you first create a folder, you specify the number of reports and the disk space reserved for
reports within this folder. As you append additional reports to the folder, its available space is
consumed. Eventually, you may need to expand the folder to hold additional reports. Enter the
following command:
: RUN VISTACLN.PUB.NETBASE,menu
By using the menu entry point, the VISTACLN menu is displayed. Follow this procedure to
expand a folder’s available space (sample values are shown for what should be entered at prompts):
1. Select menu option 5, Expand folder file. You are prompted as follows:
Enter folder file to expand:
2. Enter the name of the folder you want to expand, for example:
MTEST.ARCHIVE.NETBASE
3. You are prompted for the number of reports to be added to the folder directory (if you enter 10,
10 more spool files could be VSAVEd):
Enter the number of Reports to add to folder: 10
4. You are prompted for the number of sectors to be added to the folder’s capacity, for example:
Enter the number of Sectors to add to folder: 2000
The following message is displayed showing that you have increased the report capacity by the
number entered in step 3:
