Description
This control
is
useful to allocate more macro buffer space if, for example, a huge
batch operation
is
implemented using macros. Also, more macro space may be required
if many
or
long macros are used. The subject
of
macros and macro files
is
more
thoroughly described in
Part
II.
MACROSIZE
allows you
to
specify
the
macro buffer size for the current
AEDIT-86
invocation. macro_buffer_size
is
a decimal number specifying the number
of
bytes
to
be allocated.
The
minimum macro_buffer_size
is
1024
(400H)
bytes; the
formal maximum allowed
is
32767
(8000H)
bytes. The default size
is
3072 bytes.
The maximum size actually allowed also depends
on
the
amount
of
RAM
available;
therefore, it may be less than the formal maximum.
Buffer
that
is
allocated for macros
is
not available for text; therefore, allocating a
large macro buffer
is
not recommended.
