specifies the limit
in bytes, kilobytes (1024 bytes), megabytes (1,048,576 bytes),
gigabytes (1,073,741,824 bytes), or terabytes (1,099,511,627,776
bytes). For example, a value of 0.25G
is
equivalent to 268,435,456 bytes, and 16.5M is equivalent to 17,301,504
bytes.
specifies the amount of memory 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,
0F00000x
sets
the value of the MEMSIZE option to 15,728,640 bytes, which is equivalent
to a value of 0x
specifies the largest reasonable value dependent on the amount of physical memory and paging space available when SAS is started.
