SYS(3065 [, 1])

Parameters

  • 1
    Returns the total memory of all loaded programs.

Returns

Numeric. Returns the current PROGCACHE setting specified in the configuration file. If no setting is specified, the default is returned (-2 for MTDLL, otherwise 144).

Sample

The following sample shows how you can exceed the default Visual FoxPro program cache and cause an Error 1202 to occur. If you specify a PROGCACHE=0 setting in your config.fpw file, no error occurs.
