A.6.2 ACS Routines

The Storage, Management Class, and Storage Group routines from test case 3 were used for this test case.

A.6.3 DB2 Definitions

The same CREATE STOGROUP SQL statement used in test case 3 was used here to allow SMS to control the table space allocation by specifying the parameter VOLUMES("*"), this is Figure 100 on page 172.

The CREATE DATABASE statement is shown in Figure 109 on page 179.
