WHAT IS THE AFFECT OF THE MAX I-FIELD SETTING

ITEM: RTA000040241

QUESTION:                                                                       
What is the effect of defining a user defined max I-field of 30,729.            
Will we have the potential of wasting resources with this definiton             
if the vtam we are communicating with has a matching parameter with             
a smaller number.  We have used a smaller number which causes failures          
on some application sessions. We would like to leave it set to 30,729           
if the resources on the Risc system are not being wasted.                       
                                                                                
---------- ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- ----------                
A: Setting the "max I-field" to 30729 will not waste system resources           
   because it is the "Maximum RU SIZE" field (in a Mode profile) that           
   determines the size of the buffer used for sending and receiving             
   data.  (Even with the I-field size defined as "user-defined",                
   the maximum I-field size may be reduced by the system due to factors         
   such as the buffer size of the port and the buffer capability of            
   the remote host.)
