Brian,

SQL/MP Reference Manual - Chapter P, heading "Partition Clause" (page
P-17 in the G06.28 online version).

Under the discussion of FIRST KEY parameter, it says FIRST KEY
"specifies the lowest value for the partition if the column for the
value has an ascending collating sequence; it specifies the highest
value for the partition if the column has a descending collating
sequence."
