specifies the maximum amount of memory that is available in multiples of 1 (bytes); 1,024 (kilobytes); 1,048,576 (megabytes); or 1,073,741,824 (gigabytes). You can specify decimal values for the number of kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes. For example, a value of 8 specifies 8 bytes, a value of .782k specifies 801 bytes, and a value of 3m specifies 3,145,728 bytes.
specifies the maximum amount of memory that is available as a hexadecimal value. You must specify the value beginning with a number (0-9), followed by hexadecimal characters (0-9, A-F), and then followed by an X. For example, 2dx sets the maximum amount of memory to 45 bytes.
sets the amount of memory that is available to the minimum setting, which is 0 bytes. Setting the amount of memory to the minimum setting causes all macro symbol tables to be written to disk.
sets the amount of memory that is available to the maximum setting. On 64-bit computers, this value is 9,007,199,254,740,992 bytes.
