PIINCR= parameter for procedures
Use the PIINCR= parameter in procedure to specify the increment to be used in a conditional GETMAIN to obtain the dynamic storage. The default value is 64K.
No storage is allocated for ENQUEUE/DEQUEUE blocks at initialization. The first block of storage, obtained when the ENQUEUE/DEQUEUE routine is first called, is in the increment specified in PIINCR. Storage continues to be obtained in the increment specified until the maximum is reached (see PIMAX=). IMS does not release any storage that is dynamically obtained for the ENQUEUE/DEQUEUE routine. After storage is obtained, it is kept for the duration of the control region execution.
PIINCR can be specified as either 1- to 6-numeric characters, or 1- to 5-numeric
characters followed by K (kilobyte), M (megabyte), or G (gigabyte). If K, M, or G is not specified,
K is the default. The maximum value is 2G-1. The upper limit defaults to 2G-1 if any of the
following statements is true:
- The value specified is not large enough to hold the largest primary and secondary storage allocations that are defined.
- The value specified exceeds 2G-1.
- No value is specified.
