WORKSPACE SWITCHES

Name:
    WORKSPACE SWITCHES (SET)
Type:
    Set Subcommand
Purpose:
    Probe for values pertaining to the Dataplot workspace.
Description:
    Certain limits pertaining to Dataplot's workspace can be extracted using the PROBE command. Note that these settings cannot be modified with the SET command. If higher limits are needed, the file DPCOPA.INC needs to be modified and the Dataplot executable then needs to be rebuilt from the source code.

    The list of available workspace switches is

      MAXNK - The maximum total number of observations (i.e., the number of rows times the number of columns).
      NK - The current total number of observations.
      MAXCOL - The maximum number of columns allowed. This can be modified by the DIMENSION command. The default value is 10.
      NUMCOL - The number of columns currently defined.
      MAXN - The maximum number of observations per variable. This can be modified by the DIMENSION command.
      N - The current number of observations per variable.
      MAXNAM - The maximum number of names (this includes variables, parameters, strings, functions, and matrices).
      NUMNAM - The number of names currently defined.
      MAXCHF - The maximum number of characters for all functions and strings.
      NUMCHF - The number of characters used for all currently defined strings and functions.
      MAXFUN - The maximum number of functions and strings allowed.
      NUMFUN - The number of currently defined strings and functions.
      MAXCHM - The maximum number of characters used in printing the most recently defined model.
      MAXWID - The maximum width of a command line.
      IWIDTH - The width of the current command line.
      MAXWSV - The maximum width of a saved line.
      IWIDSV - The width of the current saved line.
      NPLOTP - The number of plot points on the most recent plot.
