The VSCORET option allows you to set the maximum amount of virtual storage below and above the 16-megabyte line that MFX can use for its working set when MFX’s Dynamic Storage Management (DSM) facility is inactive.   

When DSM is active, VSCORET is treated as an initial recommendation.   

Without DSM, MFX cannot dynamically adjust its use of virtual storage in response to system activity. For the best performance of MFX and your system, DSM is strongly recommended. If you choose to disable DSM, however, you should determine the VSCORET value based on factors such as the amount of central storage on your system, sort file size, page activity, and the number of sorts which would typically run concurrently.

Important!  Do not disable DSM without first contacting Precisely Support for advice on setting this option.   

The VSCORET limit cannot be overridden by the execution time parameter CORE. However, it can be overridden by the execution time parameter VSCORET.   

The VSCORET value cannot be less than the value set in the VSCORE option.   

Use nnnnnnnn to give the storage limit in bytes, nK to give the storage limit (n) in kilobytes, and nM to give the storage limit (n) in megabytes. The delivered default is 6M.
