- Under VMS 5.5-2 the maximum value for wsmax is 400000 pages.
- On a machine with 512 MB of memory i'd like to use 800000 pages for
- global buffers; this works, as there can be up to 32767 global buffers
- times 32 pages bucketsize (in our case) gives more than a million pages.
- I can do a $ set file/glob= 30000 (or allocate fewer buffers on
- different files), but if a process opens that file (or all the files),
- he can't have more than 400000 pages im memory.
-
- I'm sure some higher Version of VMS will raise this limit eventually,
- but 400000 seems a rather arbitrary value, so i guess this could be
- increased somehow.
-
- Has anybody done this ?
- Any ideas / pointers how to do it ?
- Caveats ? :-)

- Thanks,
