Definition
SEGSIZE allows you to specify the minimum memory space needed for any seg-
ment. If you specify the maximum size for a segment, that segment must either not
be a member of any group or be the last segment in the group.
The segment name identifies the segment whose size is to be changed.
The minimum size is a 16-bit number. There are three ways of specifying this value:
• +
indicates that the number should be added to the current segment length.
• - indicates that the number should be subtracted from the current segment
length.
• no sign indicates that the number should become the new segment length.
The maximum size is a 16-bit number. There are two ways of specifying this value:
• +
indicates that the number should be added to the minimum segment length.
• no sign indicates that the number should become the new maximum segment
length.
Notes
• The maximum segment size must always be greater than or equal to the
minimum segment size.
• Segment lengths are initially assigned by the translator.
• Uriless BIND is also specified SEGSIZE has no effect.
