-MSYMTABMAX n | nK | nM | nG | hexX | MAX | MIN
MSYMTABMAX=n | nK | nM | nG | hexX | MAX | MIN

n | nK | nM | nG
specifies the amount of memory in multiples of 1; 1,024 (kilobytes); 1,048,576 (megabytes); and 1,072,741,824 (gigabytes), respectively. For example, a value of 8 specifies 8 bytes and a value of 3M specifies 3,145,728 bytes.

hexX
specifies the amount of memory in hexadecimal notation. The value must be followed by X.

MAX
specifies the maximum amount of memory available

MIN

After the MSYMTABMAX value is reached, SAS writes any additional macro variables to disk.
