REAL*8 (8-byte) words

Default Value

One page, in units of REAL*8 (8-byte) words.

Description

When memory is allocated from the FMS memory pool, the starting address and length are rounded up to fall on boundaries specified by MALIGN. The default value of one page results in all memory allocated from the memory pool starting on a page boundary and being page length. FMS may change this value internally, if other alignment is required. Direct I/O is one option that may result in this value being increased.

Because this parameter affects actions during FMSINI, it must be set in the License File.
