pcb0 |
FID for the PCB for line 0. |
sysbase/mod |
Base FID and modulo of the master dictionary’s (system) file. |
maxfid |
Last addressable FID on the system. |
available |
Number of frames available in overflow. |
dfsize |
Number of bytes available per data frame. The actual frame size is a bit larger. A dfsize of 1000 indicates an actual frame size of 1024. A dfsize of 2000 indicates an actual frame size of 2048. A dfsize of 4000 indicates an actual frame size of 4096. |
