Symbolic Variables

The storage control file contains objects (such as databases, table spaces, and tables) that define the physical storage layout of your database. Many of the options in the objects are the equivalent of options in DB2 SQL statements.

While most options within the objects are defined by actual values (for example, SegSize=32), some options include symbolic variables that will be substituted by the values in Table 9. Review Table 9 for a list of symbolic variables from the storage control file templates that will be substituted with the actual values that comply with your organization's standards.
