Specifies how much VTAM® can use of the private storage allocated to the application program’s task. In most cases, each task is associated with only one application program. If a task involves more than one application program, the effective MAXPVT value for the task is the sum of the values specified for all the application programs opened under the task.

number_of_bytes can be expressed as a single number up to 8 digits, or up to 7 digits with M or K. The limit for MAXPVT is approximately 2048M (2 gigabytes).

For CMIP services application programs, the minimum value is 2 megabytes.
MAXPVT=0
Specifies that no limit is defined and thus, when no storage is available in the address space associated with this application program, the session is cleared.
MAXPVT=number_of_bytes
MAXPVT=number_of_bytesK
The number of one-kilobyte segments that this application program task can use of its private area (address space). number_of_bytes is a decimal integer. Its value is rounded up to the next multiple of 4.

For CMIP services application programs, if the number of bytes specified is fewer than 2 megabytes, the value is rounded up to 2 megabytes.

MAXPVT=number_of_bytesM
The maximum amount of private area storage, in one-megabyte increments, that the application program task can use. number_of_bytes is a decimal integer.

For CMIP services application programs, if the number of bytes specified is less than 2 megabytes, the value is rounded up to 2 megabytes.
