Description

The GTBLPCT parameter indicates the initial percentage of GTBL to allocate for storage of global string variables; the remaining storage area is for global objects such as global screens, images, lists, found sets, and positions.

The GTBLPCT parameter has no effect if GTBLHASH=0.

Resetting the GTBLPCT parameter clears the global table.

Rocket Software recommends that you set GTBLPCT high, if you have mostly global strings and a few global objects; low, if the reverse applies. For a discussion of the performance improvement in handling global variables see the Rocket Model 204 User Language Manual.
