The system default buffer size of 512 bytes for pipe write operations can limit performance and generate extra line feeds when handling messages longer than 512 bytes. DECC$PIPE_BUFFER_SIZE allows a larger buffer size to be used for pipe functions such as pipe and popen. A value of 512 to 65535 bytes can be specified. If DECC$PIPE_BUFFER_SIZE is not specified, the default buffer size 512 is used. Default: 512 Minimum: 512 Maximum: 65535
