The database structure modification utility (pdmod) is used to modify the physical structure of a database, such as by adding, expanding, or reinitializing RDAREAs. This utility resolves RDAREA space shortages that may be caused by frequent additions to and updating of tables. Table 7-1 shows the relationships between the functions of the database structure modification utility (pdmod) and the types of RDAREAs.
