Computer-implemented method for allocating new additional area for the dataset in storage based on the size of the new additional area wherein if the new area number does not exceed clipping threshold, the size of a new additional area being greater than the size of each previously allocated additional area of the dataset

A method and article of manufacture, implementing the method, allocates space for a dataset. The dataset has an initial area and zero or more additional allocated areas to provide space for storing the dataset. The size of a new additional area is determined. The new additional area is associated wi...

Summary:A method and article of manufacture, implementing the method, allocates space for a dataset. The dataset has an initial area and zero or more additional allocated areas to provide space for storing the dataset. The size of a new additional area is determined. The new additional area is associated with a new area number, and the size of the new additional area is based on the new area number. Additional space for the dataset is allocated based on the size of the new additional area.
