If there was something wrong with the changes you made, do not rename the
TEST.INI file. Press the reset button to reboot the computer with the original
system initialization file. Now you can use AlphaVUE to correct the TEST.INI file
and try again.
Changing User Memory
How much of the computer’s total supply of memory is assigned to each job is
determined by the MEMORY command. If you or the System Operator of your computer
decide to add jobs or alter memory allocations, you should first refer to the
System
Operator’s Guide
.
To see a display of the current memory allocations on your computer, use the SYSTAT
command:
SYSTAT/N
RETURN
In addition to many other pieces of information about the status of the computer,
SYSTAT shows how much memory is assigned to each job. The SYSTAT command is
explained in detail in the
System Commands Reference Manual .
If you decide to change the amount of memory allocated to a job, you can modify the
system initialization file following the instructions below.
NEVER change the system initialization file directly! Always make a copy of it and
modify the copy, as described below.
Briefly, here is a summary of what you need to do:
1.Log into DSK0:[1,4] and make a copy of the system initialization file:
COPY TEST.INI=AMOS32.INI
RETURN
2.Use the AlphaVUE text editor to see the contents of the test file:
VUE TEST.INI
RETURN
If you are unfamiliar with AlphaVUE, refer to the AlphaVUE User’s Manual .
3.Scan through the file until you come to the ATTACH statement that attaches the
terminal to the job whose memory you want to change. Following the ATTACH
statement are several other statements, among which is the MEMORY statement.
The number after the MEMORY statement is the amount of memory currently
allocated to the job. You can increase this number or decrease it as long as you
keep in mind how much total memory your computer has, and how much memory
the other jobs need.
