  Hi guys,

   

  need help answering the following. Thanks for the help

   

               The maximum primary key value of a faculty file is equal to 999.  The following table is the initial prime area of the indexed sequential file for the faculty file:

   

  Track Number	Prime Area
  1	20	50	155	258
  2	305	450	460	680
  3	710	756	800	998

   

  Construct the final prima area, track index area, and overflow area after inserting 888, 777, 300, and 999 without reload the indexed sequential file.

  First, let me say that this question is totally irrelevant to this forum.

  That said, digging deep into my memory, I'd say the file would end up like this:

  PRIME AREA

  track    records in prime area

  1        20    50   155   258

  2        305   450  460   680

  3        710   756  777   800

  INDEX

  track    max record number

  1        258

  2        680

  3        800

  OVERFLOW

  4        300  888  998  999

   

  Of course, it's been 18 years since I've done this, so keep that in mind.
