number is the maximum size for core images.
Forbidden contexts
NO USER
Execution
The number is rounded up to a multiple of 64 (1024 for GEORGE 4). If there is a current core image larger than this number an error will be reported. The value in the command will be effective either until another MAXSIZE command is issued or until the end of the job.
Any attempt to load a program of a greater core size than the MAXSIZE value will be treated as an error. If the requested size in a CORE or SIZE command or by the GIVE/4 extracode is greater than the value in the MAXSIZE command, the MAXSIZE value will be taken as the requested size.
Example
MAXSIZE 4096
Note
The system wil place other constraints on the maximum size of core images and it cannot be assumed that core images of the size given in the MAXSIZE command will be allowed.
