# OVSIZE - Storage Thread Overflow Size

This Natural profile parameter specifies the maximum total amount of variable storage that may be allocated by one Natural session outside its storage thread.

Possible settings | `0-2097151` | Maximum total storage outside the thread in KB.
Default setting | `2097151` | That is, the storage outside the thread is limited by the region size only.
Dynamic specification | yes |
Specification within session | no |

If the storage within the thread is exhausted during a Natural session, additional storage can be allocated outside of the thread. `OVSIZE` can be used to limit the total amount of variable storage. This does not affect physical storage (see profile parameter `WPSIZE`), which is allocated outside the thread always.

For non-thread environments (e.g. in batch mode or under TSO), this parameter is not honored.
