When the free space in the device where the DB is hosted is exhausted Sybase ASE gives following errors:
Msg 1105, Level 17, State 2
Server '', Procedure '', Line 15
Can't allocate space for object '' in database '' because 'default' segment is full/has no free extents. If you ran out of space in syslogs, dump the transaction log. Otherwise, use ALTER DATABASE to increase the size of the segment.
(return status = -7)
Could not execute statement.
Can't allocate space for object 'xxxxxx' in database 'xxx' because 'default' segment is full/has no free extents. If you ran out of space in syslogs, dump the transaction log. Otherwise, use ALTER DATABASE to increase the size of the segment.

In such cases sometimes we need to extend the Database device, for which first we’ll identify the devices mapped to the database by executing following command:
> sp_helpdb <DB Name> > go
Once the device is identified we would use following command to identify the free space in the device and the physical path of the device:
> sp_helpdevice <Device Name> > go
If the mount point has sufficient space, use following command to extend the device:
> disk resize name='<Device Name>', size='Amount of space you want to add' > go
Once space is added to the device we need to allocate that added space to the database by using following command:
> alter database <DB Name> > on <Data Device> = 'Amount of space you want to add' > log on <Log Device> = 'Amount of space you want to add' > go
