Sage 100

Working on Mas 200 4.30 - I have need to change a system parameter. Specifically, the 'MB' parameter. I can run syzcon and run SET_PARAM and change it for the life of my session, but I really need to set it system wide. Anybody ever tackle this?

Randy I've done it a couple times. I recommend putting it in the START_UP in \mas90\HOME for it to persist. Add a line in the 200 block where the other PARAMs are: SET_PARAM 'MB'=1800,'VE' Starting with 4.40, Sage uses 1800 (1.8 GB) for the segment size and they set the related VE param as well. I followed suit when I set it for older versions.

Alnoor - Thanks. I presume 1.8Gb to get close to the 2Gb limit and leave some safety margin. I am not familiar with 'VE' parameter - what is its purpose? I have looked in a couple different users manuals, most current back to v7, and I do not see that one listed.

Randy - here is VE from my pvx lang ref. I take it to mean that if you or Sage issue a RENAME or ERASE on say IM5ABC.soa (assume it has exceeded 1.8GB and has segments now) that it would also rename or erase IM5ABC.soa.001 and any other segments. **'VE' System Parameter - VLR Segments Erase/Rename** _Controls whether additional segments of a VLR (variable-length record) multi-segmented file will be renamed or erased when the primary file is altered. The logic will only apply to actual segment file extensions and not to segment file extensions that are defined via link files._

Thanks Alnoor - that is a very desirable feature... sort of begs the question why would anyone ever want it differently, but I am glad it is available.
