Limits

This topic summarizes the implementation limits for the PL/I language elements, the macro facility language elements, and the supported code page values for UPPERCASE built-in function and LOWERCASE built-in function.

Table 1 summarizes the implementation limits for the PL/I language elements.

Table 1. Language element limits
Language element Description Limit
Arrays Maximum number of dimensions for an array 15
Minimum lower boundNote 1 Under CMPAT(V3), -263; otherwise, -2147483648
Maximum upper boundNote 1 Under CMPAT(V3), +263 - 1; otherwise, +2147483647
Note 1: These bounds must be used with caution. For instance, if A has the maximum upper bound and JX has the attributes SIGNED FIXED BIN(31), the loop DO JX = LBOUND(A) TO HBOUND(A) will "wrap" after it hits the last element in the array. It would not "wrap" if UPTHRU were used instead of TO.
Structures Maximum number of levels in a structure 15
Maximum level-number in a structure 255
Arithmetic precisions Maximum precision for FIXED DECIMAL 31Note 2
Maximum precision for FIXED BINARY 63Note 3
Maximum precision for FLOAT DECIMAL 33Note 4
Maximum precision for FLOAT BINARY 109Note 5
Maximum scale factor for FIXED data 127
Minimum scale factor for FIXED data -128
Note 2: This is true only if you specify the compile-time option LIMITS(FIXEDDEC(31)); the default is 15.
Note 3: This is true only if you specify the compile-time option LIMITS(FIXEDBIN(63)); the default is 31.
Note 4: On Intel, the maximum FLOAT DECIMAL precision is 18. Under FLOAT(DFP), the maximum FLOAT DECIMAL precision is 34.
Note 5: On Intel, the maximum FLOAT BINARY precision is 64.
String and AREA variables or constants Maximum length of CHARACTER 32767
Maximum length of BIT 32767
Maximum length of GRAPHIC 16383
Maximum length of WIDECHAR 32767
Maximum size of AREA 2147483647
Note 6: These are the default limits. Under the STRING suboption of the LIMITS compiler option, the maximum length of the string types can be up to 128M.
Built-in functions Maximum number of arguments to the IAND, IOR, MAX, and MIN functions 64
Maximum values for the precision (p) in the ADD, BINARY, DECIMAL, DIVIDE, FIXED, FLOAT, MULTIPLY, PRECISION, and SUBTRACT functions same as corresponding limit for arithmetic precision
Maximum values for the scale (q) in the ADD, BINARY, DECIMAL, DIVIDE, FIXED, MULTIPLY, PRECISION, and SUBTRACT functions same as corresponding limit for arithmetic precisions
Maximum number of digits (N) in the CEIL, FLOOR, MAX, MIN, MOD, ROUND, and TRUNC functions same as corresponding limit for arithmetic precisions
Program size Maximum length of an identifier 100
Maximum number of lexical units (keywords, identifiers, delimiters, etc) before a statement type can be resolved 511
Maximum number of DEFAULT-statements in a block 31
Maximum number of %PUSH statements 63
Maximum number of %INCLUDE statements 4095
Maximum nesting of %INCLUDE statements 2046
Maximum number of lines in any source file 1048575
Maximum number of statements 16777215
Maximum number of LIKE-attributes in a block 63
Maximum number of output expressions in a data-list 60
Maximum number of repetitive DO-specifications in a data-list 50
Maximum size of a data aggregate containing no unaligned bits 2147483647
Maximum size of a data aggregate containing some unaligned bits 268435455
Maximum number of arguments in a CALL or function reference 255
Maximum number of parameters for a procedure 4095
Maximum nesting of factored attributes 15
Maximum nesting of BEGIN and PROCEDURE statements 30
Maximum nesting of DO-groups 49
Maximum nesting of IF statements 49
Maximum nesting of SELECT-statements 49
Maximum nesting of expressions 383
Maximum length of %NOTE message 32767
Miscellaneous Maximum number of picture characters in a character picture 511
Maximum number of bytes in a numeric picture 253
Maximum number of numeric picture characters in a numeric picture 31
Maximum number of bytes in the external representation of CHARACTER, X, BIT, BX, GRAPHIC, GX, WX and M string constants.

The external representation includes all quotes and string suffixes. For example, the string '01010110'B has 11 bytes in its external specification, but only 1 byte in its internal representation. Similarly, the string 'Ain''t Misbehavin''' has 21 bytes in its external specification, but only 17 in its internal representation.

 3072
Maximum length for a KEYTO character string 120
Maximum length for a KEYTO graphic or widechar string 60
Maximum KEY length 32763
Maximum line size for LINESIZE 32,759 for F-format or U-format, and 32,751 for V-format
Minimum line size for LINESIZE 1
Maximum page size for PAGESIZE 32,767
Minimum page size for PAGESIZE compiler option 1
Maximum size of DISPLAY character string 126
Maximum DISPLAY reply message 72 bytes
Range of IEEE normalized floating-point numbers +3.30E-4932 to +1.21E+4932, 0, -3.30E-4932 to -1.21E+4932
Range of hex floating-point numbers +10E-78 to +10E75, 0, -10E-78 to +10E+75

Table 2 summarizes the implementation limits for the macro facility language elements.

Table 2. Macro facility limits
Language element Description Limit
Arrays Maximum number of dimensions 15
Minimum lower bound -32768
Maximum upper bound +32767
Arithmetic range Min and max for a FIXED variable under FIXED(DECIMAL) option same as FIXED DECIMAL(5) identifier
Min and max for a FIXED variable under FIXED(BINARY) option same as FIXED BINARY(31) identifier
Macro procedures Maximum nesting level 1
Keys Maximum number of keyword parameters 4096
String result Maximum length 512K

Table 3 lists the values of lowerc and upperc for the supported values of c. c denotes the code page that will be uppercased or lowercased.
