This option is equivalent to the values specified for the execution-time option smsize and the special register SORT-CORE-SIZE. If they are specified concurrently, the special register SORT-CORE-SIZE has highest priority, the execution-time option smsize has second priority, and the SMSIZE () compile option has third priority.
Example
Special register
MOVE 102400 TO SORT-CORE-SIZE
(102400 = 100 kilobytes)
Compile option
SMSIZE (500 KB)
Execution-time option
smsize 300 KB
In the above example, the value of 100 KB for the special register SORT-CORE-SIZE, which has top priority, is used.
