VMS Help  —  INITIALIZE  /QUEUE  Qualifiers  /WSQUOTA
       /WSQUOTA=n

    Defines for a batch job a working set quota, the amount of
    physical memory that is guaranteed to the job.

    The value set by this qualifier overrides the value defined in
    the user authorization file (UAF) of any user submitting a job to
    the queue.

    Specify the value of n as a number of 512-byte pagelets on
    OpenVMS Alpha. OpenVMS rounds this value up to the nearest
    CPU-specific page so that the actual amount of physical memory
    allowed may be larger than the specified amount on OpenVMS Alpha.
    For further information, see the VSI OpenVMS System Manager's
    Manual.

    If you specify 0 or NONE, the working set quota value defaults
    to the value specified in the UAF or by the SUBMIT command (if it
    includes a WSQUOTA value).

    You also can specify this qualifier for an output execution
    queue. Used in this context, the /WSQUOTA qualifier establishes
    the working set quota of the symbiont process for an output
    execution queue when the symbiont process is created.

    Working set default, working set quota, and working set extent
    values are included in each user record in the system UAF. You
    can specify working set values for individual jobs or for all
    jobs in a given queue. The decision table shows the action taken
    for different combinations of specifications that involve working
    set values.

                                     value; use the smaller.
