specifies the default buffer size that SAS/CONNECT should use for transmitting data.

Details

The TBUFSIZE= system option specifies the default buffer size that SAS/CONNECT should use for transmitting data. This default setting can be overridden by setting the option TBUFSIZE=.

TBUFSIZE= should only be specified when using the program-to-program communications access methods, such as APPC, DECnet, NetBIOS and TCP/IP. The default buffer size is 32K. To get a buffer size of 16K, specify:

options tbufsize=16384;
signon;

The packet sizes of terminal-based access methods are limited by the screen size and cannot be overridden. Because the default value is the maximum buffer size allowed, the TBUFSIZE= option is ignored if it is specified by using terminal-based access methods, such as EHLLAPI and TELNET.

Note: This option is available in Version 7 and later. [cautionend]
