When setting up AREAS do we need to consider growth of the f

Let me expand: My concern is that if we define an

area like "customer" and load the customer.d into that

area - if the customer file were to grow - and the

area is full - what will happen with the data? Do

we need to consider growth of the files and allocate

growth space to the area? If an area were to fill up

what happens to the DB? does it crash? Is there

a way to monitor and build in some checks to make

sure that the area doesn't fill up?

An AREA in Progress is a LOGICAL partion (if I can use that expression).. Each Area contains multiple extents, so think of an Area as a V8 multi volume database, except that there is no .bi per area, just one for the database as a whole. All of the utilities have been updated to include Area information
