VMS Help INITIALIZE, /QUEUE, Qualifiers, /WSQUOTA  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

       /WSQUOTA=n

    Defines for a batch job a working set quota, the amount of
    physical memory that is guaranteed to the job.

    The value set by this qualifier overrides the value defined in
    the user authorization file (UAF) of any user submitting a job to
    the queue.

    Specify the value of n as a number of 512-byte pagelets on
    OpenVMS Alpha or 512-byte pages on OpenVMS VAX. OpenVMS rounds
    this value up to the nearest CPU-specific page so that the
    actual amount of physical memory allowed may be larger than the
    specified amount on OpenVMS Alpha. For further information, refer
    to the OpenVMS System Manager's Manual.

    If you specify 0 or NONE, the working set quota value defaults
    to the value specified in the UAF or by the SUBMIT command (if it
    includes a WSQUOTA value).

    You also can specify this qualifier for an output execution
    queue. Used in this context, the /WSQUOTA qualifier establishes
    the working set quota of the symbiont process for an output
    execution queue when the symbiont process is created.

    Working set default, working set quota, and working set extent
    values are included in each user record in the system UAF. You
    can specify working set values for individual jobs or for all
    jobs in a given queue. The decision table shows the action taken
    for different combinations of specifications that involve working
    set values.

    No               No              Use the UAF value.

    No               Yes             Use value for the queue.

    Yes              Yes             Use smaller of the two values.

    Yes              No              Compare specified value with UAF
                                     value; use the smaller.
