MSTATUS

Opens or closes (toggles) the MStatus window.


>>-MSTAtus-----------------------------------------------------><

This window displays information about the storage used to contain the extract data information that was loaded with LANGUAGE LOAD commands. This includes:

number of compile areas
extract data storage consumption (total, direct, pooled)
extract data storage pool utilization, including the number of AREAs in the pool which are unused

The MSTATUS command helps when free storage is at a premium.

When extract data file information is removed from storage with LANGUAGE DROP, the storage AREAs that held the extract data are kept for use by later LANGUAGE LOAD commands. The MPACK command returns storage AREAs that no longer hold extract data back to the operating system free storage pool.
