SEGM statement overview

The SEGM statement defines a segment type in the database, the position of the segment in the hierarchy, the physical characteristics of the segment, and the relationship of the segment to other segments.

SEGM statements are put in the input deck in hierarchical sequence, and a maximum of 15 hierarchical levels can be defined. The number of database statements allowed depends on the type of database. SEGM statements must immediately follow the data set or AREA statements to which they are related.
