- S
- uses the current value of the S system option
to compute the record length of text that comes from an %INCLUDE statement,
an autoexec file, or an autocall macro file.
- n | nK
| nM | nG
- specifies the value by which to compute
the record length of text that comes from an %INCLUDE statement, an autoexec
file, or an autocall macro file. n can be between
0 and 2,147,483,647, or you can specify the value in multiples of 1; 1,024
(kilobytes); 1,048,576 (megabytes); and 1,073,741,824 (gigabytes), respectively.
For example, a value of 8 specifies 8 bytes and a value of 3M specifies 3,145,728
bytes.
- hexX
- specifies the value as a hexadecimal number.
This number must be followed by an X.
- MAX
- uses the value of 2,147,483,647.
- MIN
- uses the value of 0, indicating no length
restriction.
The S2 system option
operates exactly like the S system option, except that the S2 system option
controls input from only an %INCLUDE statement, an autoexec file, or an autocall
macro file.
