PART statements

PART statements define the following:

• Databases as partitioned
• Number of RAA blocks for each partition (HDAM only)

• High key for each partition, except the last (HIDAM and INDEX only)
  You must add all PART statements after the DBD statement and before the first SEGM statement. The PART statement order determines the order of partitions. PART statements replace the DATASET statement in the DBD. You must provide a PART statement for each partition, just as you provide an AREA statement for DEDB databases.
  This uses several PART statements to define three partitions (where DD1 is the partition ddname):

  DBDNAME=PARTDBD,ACCESS=HDAM,
  RMNAME=(DFSHDC40)
  PARTDD1=PARTDD1,....
  PARTDD1=PARTDD2....
  PARTDD1=PARTDD3,...
