Define buffer size (ALLOCATE-BUFFERPOOL)

The ALLOCATE-BUFFERPOOL statement defines the size of the used buffer pool in Mbytes.

If default values are not to be used for buffer initialization, this statement must be the first statement specified.
After the initial allocation, the ALLOCATE-BUFFERPOOL statement is no longer offered in the SDF mask.

This statement cannot be canceled with the UNDO statement.

ALLOCATE-BUFFERPOOL

BUFFER-SIZE = *STD / <integer 1..2000>

BUFFER-SIZE = *STD
The default size of the buffer pool is defined as 1 or 2 Mbytes, depending on the system involved.

BUFFER-SIZE = <integer 1..2000>
The size of the buffer pool must lie within the given limits. The maximum value depends on the system configuration and the version of the operating system.
