ProvideX V8.20 > Language Reference > 6. System Parameters
655
Default
Off. The base number for level and window is 1.
Note: This setting affects the HWN( ) function, which relies on the base window
number. (See HWN( ) Function, p.453.)
Warning: If the application is run with `B0' set, ensure that it is set on both the UNIX
host and the WindX PC. Otherwise, the wrong windows will be addressed. Set 'B0'
either by using -B0 as an argument on the WindX PC's startup command line or as a
statement from the host; i.e., EXECUTE "[wdx]SET_PARAM 'B0'".
'BF'= System Parameter
     Common File Buffers
Description
Assigns the number of common database Keyed I/O buffers to be maintained by the
system.
Default
'BF'=10.
Note: When 'BF'=0 (zero, no common buffers), ProvideX uses the setting in 'FB'
Dedicated File Buffers, p.663.
'BL'= System Parameter
    Break Lines in Listings
Description
Specifies breaks in long lines at the first comma, plus sign, or the words OR and AND,
which occur on or after the number of columns specified.
Default
'BL'=0.
'BT' System Parameter
   Binary Test: 1st Read
Description
Sets binary test for serial files on first read. If a size is indicated (ISZ=option), then the
file is treated as binary. Otherwise, the file is treated as record oriented.
Default
Off.
