## 10.6.5 BUFFERCOUNT Keyword

The BUFFERCOUNT keyword specifies the number of buffers to be associated with the logical unit for multibuffered I/O. It takes the following form:

    BUFFERCOUNT = bc

bc
  Is a numeric expression.

The range of values for bc is from 1 to 127.

The BLOCKSIZE keyword determines the size of each buffer. So, if BUFFERCOUNT=3 and BLOCKSIZE=2048, the total number of bytes allocated for buffers is 3*2048, or 6144.

If you do not specify BUFFERCOUNT or you specify zero, the default is 1.

For More Information:

For details on the BLOCKSIZE keyword, see Section 10.6.4.
