PCA Command Specifies the maximum number of source files that PCA can keep open at any one time. Format SET MAX_SOURCE_FILES n
1 – Parameters
n Specifies the maximum number of source files that PCA can keep open at any one time. The value of n cannot exceed 20. The default value is 10.
2 – Description
The SET MAX_SOURCE_FILES command specifies the number of source files that PCA can have open at one time. Opening a source file requires the use of an I/O channel, which is a limited system resource. Using the SET MAX_SOURCE_FILES command, you can specify how many I/O channels PCA can use to read source files. If PCA reaches this limit, it must close one source file before it can open and read another one. In such cases, source display still works, but at some performance cost. By default, PCA keeps up to ten source files open at any one time. Normally there is no need to change this value.
