Parameter

Description

Default Feature Resources Dimension

System-generated, read-only field. Identifies the dimension level, (MFRD) 17 or 19.

Current Free Memory (bytes)

System-generated, read-only field. This field displays the amount of unused database memory.

New Free Memory (bytes)

System-generated, read-only field. This field displays the amount of unused database memory. The only time that the New bytes will not match the Current bytes is after a dimension change and before a Save.

Time Stamp (yy/mm/dd)

System-generated, read-only field. This field displays the date of the most recent change of Dimensions.

 

 

Dimension Name

System-generated, read-only field. This field lists the dimension resources. Accompanying the name of each resource is its allowable range of values. This range remains fixed.

Unit Size (bytes)

System-generated, read-only field. This field displays the memory required for one instance of the associated dimension parameter. Sizes may change with software releases.

Default # of Units

System-generated, read-only field. This field lists the dimension values assigned in the default dimension package.

Current # of Units

System-generated, read-only field. The dimension values used at the last restart are shown in this field.

New # of Units

Enter the new dimension values. Values in this field are either the same as those in the "Current" field or else contain changes entered after the last system restart.  

You cannot save values above or below the indicated range for a dimension. Attempting to commit a lower or higher value than the given range will result in an error message.
