This Natural profile parameter specifies the size of the Natural runtime buffer.
Alternatively, you can use the equivalent Natural profile parameter
DS or macro
NTDS; see
Using Optional Macros in a Natural Parameter
Module in the Operations
documentation to specify RUNSIZE.

The Natural runtime buffer contains information on the following items:
defined STEPLIBS,
the file translation table (profile parameter TF),
log information of the most recent command,
the environment stack (for user settings),
active global data areas,
invoked subroutines (subroutine name and object name),
invoked objects (address in the buffer pool for a fast location).
If the specified size of the runtime buffer is exceeded by a Natural user, the size for the invoked objects information is decreased accordingly. However, when this size decreases, the number of possible buffer-pool fast locations decreases, too; if it is about to become 0, an error message is issued.
