shared_memory_segment_size

Specifies the initial size of the shared memory block allocated by the run-time system.

Restriction: This tunable is supported for native COBOL only.

Syntax:

>>-----set shared_memory_segment_size=---integer-----------><

Parameters:

integer

Specifies the initial size of the shared memory block allocated by the run-time system, in bytes. The minimum value you can specify is 8192 (8KB).

Properties:

Default:	65536 (64KB)

Comments:

The default amount of shared memory allocated by the run-time system is 65536 bytes, of which the run-time system reserves some of these bytes for internal use, so the actual default allocation is around 64000 bytes.

Use this tunable to override the default size, but be aware that any change in allocation is restricted by the operating system (and the run-time system requirement mentioned above).
