Table 18 Calculating the size of the manual conditions file

Parameter	Description
NRSREC#	This parameter defines the number of records in one slot in the IOA Manual Conditions file per day. Each slot can contain any number of records between 1 and 255. Conditions in the Manual Conditions file are held in 32 slots. The first 31 slots contain only conditions that have a date reference to a specific day of the month. For example, condition JOBA‑OK 0303 belongs to the slot for the 3rd day of the month. The 32nd slot is used for conditions that contain the STAT attribute instead of a date. Since each manual condition occupies 25 bytes (50 for long conditions), each record can contain a maximum of 32760 / 25 = 1310 manual conditions (32760 / 50 = 655 for long manual conditions). Mandatory Maximum: 255 Default: 1 Usually a value of 1 is sufficient.
