Synopsis

AUTOEXTEND 
{OFF

Keywords

OFF

Specifies that the autoextend feature should not be enabled and that the file will not be permitted to grow in size.

ON

Specifies that when the file becomes full and additional space is requested, the file will be extended in size by the amount specified by the NEXT parameter, up to the limit specified by the MAXSIZE parameter.

NEXT

Specifies the amount of space in bytes, kilobytes (K), or megabytes (M) that will be added to the file when growth occurs.

MAXSIZE

Specifies the maximum size in bytes, kilobytes (K), or megabytes (M) for the file. The autoextend feature does not extend the file beyond this size.
