SIZE: Space specification option z/OS MVS Program Management: User's Guide and Reference SA23-1393-00 |
|
The SIZE option allows you to specify the amount of space available for processing load modules. You can specify the amount of virtual storage the binder can use and the size of the load module buffers. If you specify SIZE when you bind program objects, the value2 subparameter is ignored. Also, if you specify WKSPACE, the first subparameter of WKSPACE overrides the first subparameter of SIZE. The syntax of the SIZE option is:
SIZE={value1[K] | ([value1[K],value2[K])}
When coded in the PARM field, value1 and value2 parameters
are enclosed in parentheses. For example:
Both value1 and value2 can be expressed as integers specifying the number of bytes of virtual storage or as nK, where "n" represents the number of 1KB (1024) of virtual storage. The binder provides default values for the SIZE option. The default values are used if you do not specify any values, or if you specify one or more of the values incorrectly. These defaults should be adequate for most binds, relieving you from needing to specify the SIZE option. We recommend that you do not use the SIZE option. Block size for load modules should be specified with the MAXBLK option (see MAXBLK: Maximum block size option), and workspace can be allocated with the WKSPACE option (see WKSPACE: Working space specification option). |
