==Description==
The length of the input buffer used for input lines from CCAIN or a user's terminal
The input buffer must be at least three characters longer than the longest anticipated input line. (Long lines are rejected.) LIBUFF also specifies the maximum length allowed for string arguments to Host Language Interface calls from user programs. 
If User 0's parameter line is longer than 255 characters, set LIBUFF with the parameters passed by the operating system when <var class="product">Model 204</var> is invoked. LIBUFF must not exceed 32767.
The value of LIBUFF affects the setting of the User 0 parameter IFAMBS. For the algorithm expressing their relationship, see [[IFAMBS parameter|IFAMBS: Host Language Interface (HLI) IFAM2 buffer length]].
Under z/VSE, you can abbreviate LIBUFF when setting it in the SYSPARM field of the OPTION statement in the JCL. Abbreviating it to LIB allows you to enter a LIBUFF value up to four digits long. The JCL statement takes the form: 
// OPTION SYSPARM='LIB=n'
 where n must be a number greater than 0 and less than or equal to 9999.
