This Natural profile parameter determines the size of the buffer used by the Software AG Editor.
Alternatively, you can use the equivalent Natural profile parameter
DS or the macro
NTDS to
specify the SSIZE value. See
Using
Optional Macros in a Natural Parameter Module in the
Operations documentation.
| Possible settings | 40 - 512 |
Buffer size in KB. |

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 |
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)).
For further information about the SAG Editor work file, see Operating the Software AG Editor, Editor Work File in the Operations documentation.
