/GLOBAL_BUFFER[=keyword[=n]] /NOGLOBAL_BUFFER For OpenVMS versions prior to Version 8.3, sets the OpenVMS Record Management Services (OpenVMS RMS) global buffer count (the number of buffers that can be shared by processes accessing the file) for the specified files. The value n must be an integer in the range from 0 to 32,767. A value of 0 disables buffer sharing. The /SHARE qualifier can be used to enable or disable global buffers on a file currently being accessed; however, any new global buffer settings will only be applied to new accessors of the file. If a file is already open with global buffers, any new number of global buffers will not take effect until the file is closed by all accessors of the file. For OpenVMS V8.3 and later, sets the OpenVMS RMS global buffer count for the specified files. Note, you can specify only one type of global buffer qualifier in the same command string. The keyword can be: o COUNT=n-The value n sets the longword count of the number of global buffers. o PERCENT=p-The value p expresses the size of the global cache as a percent of the total number of used blocks currently used in the file. o DEFAULT-Requests RMS at runtime to recalculate the global cache size based on an algorithm that makes use of two global buffer SYSGEN parameters, GB_CACHEALLMAX and GB_DEFPERCENT. The following qualifiers can also be used with the /SHARE qualifier: o /GLOBAL_BUFFER=n o /GLOBAL_BUFFER=COUNT=n o /GLOBAL_BUFFER=PERCENT=n o /GLOBAL_BUFFER=DEFAULT o /NOGLOBAL_BUFFER o /[NO]STATISTICS
