specifies the amount of memory that is available in multiples of 1; 1,024 (kilobytes);
1,048,576 (megabytes); 1,072,741,824
(gigabytes); and 1,099,511,627,776 (terabytes), respectively. You can specify decimal
values for the number of kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, or terabytes. 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 amount of memory that is available as a hexadecimal value. You must
specify the value beginning with
a number (0–9), followed by an X. For example, the value 2dx sets the amount
of memory to 45 bytes.
sets the amount of memory that is available to the minimum setting, which is 0. This value causes all macro variables to be written to disk.
sets the amount of memory that is available to the maximum setting.
