/GLOBAL_BUFFER[=keyword[=n]]
/NOGLOBAL_BUFFER
For OpenVMS versions prior to Version 8.3, sets the OpenVMS
Record Management Services (OpenVMS RMS) global buffer count (the
number of buffers that can be shared by processes accessing the
file) for the specified files. The value n must be an integer in
the range from 0 to 32,767. A value of 0 disables buffer sharing.
The /SHARE qualifier can be used to enable or disable global
buffers on a file currently being accessed; however, any new
global buffer settings will only be applied to new accessors of
the file. If a file is already open with global buffers, any new
number of global buffers will not take effect until the file is
closed by all accessors of the file.
For OpenVMS V8.3 and later, sets the OpenVMS RMS global buffer
count for the specified files. Note, you can specify only one
type of global buffer qualifier in the same command string.
The keyword can be:
o COUNT=n-The value n sets the longword count of the number of
global buffers.
o PERCENT=p-The value p expresses the size of the global cache
as a percent of the total number of used blocks currently used
in the file.
o DEFAULT-Requests RMS at runtime to recalculate the global
cache size based on an algorithm that makes use of two global
buffer SYSGEN parameters, GB_CACHEALLMAX and GB_DEFPERCENT.
The following qualifiers can also be used with the /SHARE
qualifier:
o /GLOBAL_BUFFER=n
o /GLOBAL_BUFFER=COUNT=n
o /GLOBAL_BUFFER=PERCENT=n
o /GLOBAL_BUFFER=DEFAULT
o /NOGLOBAL_BUFFER
o /[NO]STATISTICS
