setting ulimit "data" sze

[okcunix]

HPUX 11.11
How do I set the ulimit for "data" to a higher number? I have one set for 262 MB, but I need to up this to 2.05 GB.

Please advise

You can not set the ulimit size of data (for that matter other values) more then what has been set for maxdsiz(for 32 bit programs) or madsiz_64bit (for 64 bit programs)

If that (maxdsiz/maxdsiz_64bit) has been set to 2.05 GB or more, you can set ulimit for data size as follows.

ulimit d "value"

I suppose the value is in bytes.

Correction, the command should be as follows.

ulimit -d "value"

I suppose the value is in bytes.

Increasing the value of kernel parameter maxdsiz and maxdsize_64 (for 64bit)will allow you to increase the data value for ulimit

ulimit -a will show the current settings

Hey Thanx-Amillion for the fast help.
I was afraid of that.
Okay, will cranking-up maxdsiz require a 'reboot'?

Okay,
Nevermind, I got my answer already.
Thanx Again.
