# SSIZE - Size of Source Area Allocated by the Editors

This Natural profile parameter determines the size of the buffer used by the Software AG Editor.

Possible settings | `40 - 512` | Buffer size in KB.
`0` | Note If `SSIZE=0` or if the required space is not available, the Software AG Editor cannot be used.
Default setting | `64` |
Dynamic specification | yes |
Specification within session | no |

Notes:

1. Alternatively, you can use the equivalent Natural profile parameter `DS` or the macro `NTDS` to specify the size of the buffer.
2. If you have defined an Editor work file with a record length greater than 4 KB (default), you should use an `SSIZE` value greater than 64 KB. There are two work file record buffers allocated within the `SSIZE`. Therefore, you should add two times your work file record buffer size minus 4 KB to your `SSIZE`. Example: Your Editor work file has a record length of 10 KB. Then use at least `SSIZE=76` (that is, `64+2*(10-4)`).
