Use Temporary Table Database Block Size (-tmpbsize) to specify the temp-table block size.

An INTEGER that specifies the temp-table database block size. Valid values are:
  • 1—Sets the block size to 1024 bytes.
  • 4—Sets the block size to 4096 bytes. This is the default value.
  • 8—Sets the block size to 8192 bytes.

The temp-table database block size dictates the size of each buffer in the temp-table database buffer pool for the current OpenEdge session.

Use Number of Buffers for Temporary Tables (-Bt) to specify the number of buffers in the temp-table database buffer pool.

See Develop ABL Applications for more information about temp-tables.
